So for our third major training session we decided to go bigger and better than the previous two rides and cycle the Olympic Cycle Route which ran to 90 miles. Joe, Rhys, Rob & Olly were joined by none other than Elise Bromley (a keen cyclist from Tadworth - find out more about her cycling heritage in the interviews section..) Here are some pictures of the milestones of the journey:
The weather was ideal, the company was fautless and the scenery was stunning. So besides this what else is worth noting? Well, Rob got a puncture early on and broke the CycleofLife record for fixing it (18 mins, 22 secs). Joe learnt to cycle with no hands and managed a personal best of 21 seconds. Elise taught Olly that he can't clean his bike chain with fairy liquid. And Rhys found that he can't cope sitting down cycling and riding a bike without a bottle of lucozade to hand.
