World Water Day 22 March 2011

.

Let me take this opportunity to say thank you for visiting my blog.

I acquired my passion for cycling only in the summer of 2010 whilst training for a London to Paris charity bike ride. I took inspiration from my Dad who cycled Lands End to John O'Groats in 2007 and decided to take to the bike to help raise money for those less fortunate than me. I've always been involved in fundraising for various charities from a young age. I only recently came across WaterAid, a charity who help provide water and sanitation to those without. The statistic deeply shocked me and so I started from scratch and trained for the 300 mile cycle between two of the greatest capitals in the world.

In the space of a year I have gone from not particularly liking bikes to been a keen cyclist. Here is my journey!

I Heart My Bike

As you may already know I had my beloved Bianchi stolen the day before my London to Paris charity cycle. To say I was upset is a gross understatement! I loved that bike. My Dad gave it to me, its the bike he cycled Lands End to John O'Groats and I was so chuffed with it...then it was taken away.

After the big cycle (on a borrowed bike) I knew I was going to have to replace the stolen bike because I wanted to keep cycling. I shopped around for new bikes and tried a couple out. Unfortunately my budget didn't stretch for anything flash and I started get worried that I'd never find the perfect replacement. Until randomly someone told me they had a bike for sale just on budget and my size.

I love love love it!! I never thought for a million years I'd be cycling around on such an amazing bike. You can't get me off it. Every cloud does have a silver lining.
