My Bike Is Broken Beyond Repair aAnd I have no money… No more outdoor training for me…. UHOOOO! And I fell off it last week and have bruised, grazed and cut most of the right side of my body…………………  

So as we all have established I’ve been totally and completely useless at doing any prep for this 50 miles but in the last week shit got real! So I have all my deadlines in 4 weeks and I have done nothing because I work and drink too much on a regular basis but I’ve […]

At last I’ve got off my arse and started actually cycling rather than sit around convincing myself that doing yoga a couple times a week will get me through!!!! After recovering from my week/10 days of tonsillitis, conjunctivitis and a cold I had a hell of a lot of work to catch up on at […]

So I haven’t done anything this week because I have a really bad cold… Then to add to that I woke up with conjunctivitis Wednesday morning – so that was no fun at all. But it gets worse…… I then got tonsillitis as well! So I’ve been quarantined for 2 days now, didn’t go into work […]

What Billie says goes, that’s what I learnt this week!! After announcing I’m an insane slacker on Twitter last week, I was told to get on my bike and cycle to and from work! Now I work in a cocktail bar usually 7pm through to 3am but once you’ve had a few drinks it can be […]

Here she is!!  This is the 14 year old bike I will be practicing on and lets be honest I’m probably going to end up doing the whole 50 miles on this… When I came up to Cambridge I didn’t want to buy a new bike because that is just going to get stolen and […]

Me and cycling go way back! Obviously there is all the bike rides you go on when you’re children that you think your parents are really enjoying and then when yo grow up you realise they were trying to lose weight and you just got dragged along with them. So other than that it’s been […]

So other than spinning and yoga last week that’s all the training I’ve had time to do… Just got a new job in a bar up here in Cambridge, my student loan just isn’t going to cut it! So finding time to cycle between working 8pm till 230am 3 nights a week is a bit […]

So I’ve not had any alcohol for 5 days now…That’ll have one of two reactions I imagine: 1) And your point is…? 2) Oh God, poor thing! (Which would have been my response last week – I like a glass of red in the evening!) It’s my first year at uni; I’m 20, away from […]
