Today (Monday 24th. May) was a day of showers and my attempt to dodge them wasn't wholly successful! I wasn't feeling my best either.
It was also the first proper day of the Heavy Metal Truants ride (for those with better fitness and health than me!) My thoughts were with my Truant buddies today, especially with it being a showery and cold day - the temperature 'real feel'. here was only 6 degrees!
As I set out on my ride and saw some ponies and a foal.
I had a good view of a buzzard at one point.
The sky was dramatic, but thankfully it was dry at this point.
There were lots of cows about. One was really pretty, but it wasn't safe for me to stop and take a closer photo.
As I headed back towards Brockenhurst, the heavens opened. But this pony and her Starling friends didn't seem to mind!
As I got back home, the worst of the rain had eased, but it didn't feel much like May. But I know that with every pedal stroke that I do, with your fantastic support and sponsorship, I am raising money for 4 great children's charities - Teenage Cancer Trust, Nordoff Robbins, Childline and Save the Children.
A bit of cold and rain and sore legs and sore bum is nothing compared to what some children have to cope with each and every day.
Knowing that I have now reached £345 in sponsorship is a great incentive and I thank each and everyone of your you for your sponsorship. Knowing that for every miles that I cycle, nearly £2 goes to these great charities helps me on my way. Thank you.
If you haven’t sponsored me yet, but wish to, you can do so here.
I clocked up 10.34 miles today.
