Sarah's Regatta Cycling Challenge

Sarah Bruce 23rd July 2018 This event has closed

Story

I intend to cycle as far as I can (whilst stationery!) during all the Regatta races this year (Monday 23rd July to Thursday 2nd August) to raise some money for this brilliant charity and to kick start a plan to get a bit fitter this year.  Donations are very welcome for this challenge, but please also leave your guess at how many miles I might manage across the fortnight?  Closest to the right number will win a bottle of Harris Gin - so please don't put the same number as anyone else to prevent sharing that bottle!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks to EVERYONE who sponsored me on my challenge. Completed 240.25 miles. I had hoped to do more but we had a lot of race reschedules which messed with the cycling time a little. Still happy with that total and overwhelmed with all the donations! Including offline, you’ve raised over £1100 for a charity very close to my heart so thank you so much to all who donated. You can still donate online but the Harris Gin prize for the closest mileage guess was won on Friday night and went to Mary Gollan. Thanks Mary! I’m off for a looong bath! Xx

Last day in the saddle today! Trying to make up for a race we had to cancel this week by doing extra average miles. Thank god I only drank until 2am last night! 😊 Thanks SO much for all your donations, online and offline so far. Final push today and results and winner will be announced at Regatta concert tomorrow night. Will post online when sober enough! 🚲👍🏼

End of first week and I seem to have survived. Even managed a sub committee meeting from the saddle! (Evidence below!) This challenge is def hardest on the bottom, though the biggest endurance test so far was having to drink a glass of water with salt & sugar on a hangover today, to combat sore crampy legs. Surely next week will be a doddle after that! Thanks for all your donations so far! Don’t forget to guess! X

Day 1 yesterday - managed 30 miles across the 2 races. That’s your only clue to how many miles I might do in total! Thanks for all donations so far, both online and offline.
