50 mile time trial


On Sunday 9th May I completed the Charlotteville 50 mile time trial down near Farnham. The course ran up and down the A31 for 3 gruelling laps. The conditions weren't great with a Northerly wind blowing straight down the length of the course, and a drizzling of rain for much of the duration of the race. Even so I managed to finish in 2hrs 20mins 34seconds, putting me 6/13 for the ladies and 85/130 overall. Go here for more pictures of the event: http://www.pbase.com/blinkmanphotos/charlotteville_50

The sponsorship has now shot over the £2000 mark which is fantastic! And it keeps rising! :o) Thank you again to all who have contributed. Only 3 weeks till the ride!
