Naomi competes in her first 25 mile Time Trial

On Sunday 16th I competed in the Worthing Excelsior 25 mile Time Trial. The course ran from Crawley, down the A246 and A24, taking in 24 roundabouts over the 25 mile course!!! Thanks to the well signposted route I managed not to veer off course and finished with a respectable time of 1:08:08, putting me in 3rd place for the ladies. We had a brilliant morning for it with clear skies and warm temperatures. Hopefully we'll be treated to equally good weather for this Saturday's 10 mile time trial up at Farnham...!

In other news, I am currently top fund raiser on the Just Giving Website, currently raising more money than any other fundraiser on the site! The total is almost up to £2500!! :o)

For those of you based in East Sussex, the Seaford Gazette have run a story about my ride in this weeks paper! Grab yourself a copy and have a nosey!
