13 Days to Go!

Coombe Hill

It was extremely pleasing to receive such a wonderful response to the announcement of the Cycle Ride yesterday. Thank you to everyone.

Following the 11am mass we had a photo shoot so that everyone can put a face to ’Four Mikes on their Bikes'.  Keep an eye on the website for the photos to be revealed.  (See sidebar on right).

After the photoshoot we set off on our penultimate training session as a team.  This time the route chosen by Mike Burton was particularly punishing concentrating on a propensity of hills:

Speen Hill
Chinnor Hill
Kop Hill
Longdown Hill (we went up it)
Lodge Hill (Coombe Hill)
Dunsmore Hill
Chesham Lane (into Chesham)
Stony Lane (Little Chalfont)
Lodge Lane

64 miles in total and some 7 plus hours in the saddle.

Never has a bath at the end of a day been so inviting or so welcome!
