Wow, it’s got cold! But, I’ve been determined not to let that stop me from getting out on my bike. Ok, so I really didn’t want to go out for a cycle ride but I know these are the days that it’s even more important for me to push myself harder. So, I wrapped myself up in extra lay...

Last year, as I turned 30, I decided the time had come to push myself and set myself a challenge. Something that I could train towards, that would keep (get) me a bit fitter and that would give me a sense of achievement once I'd got there. I'd done a small amount of cycling, with...

So, this weekend I went out for my first ride of the New Year. It was the first time I'd had a chance to take my new Ridgeback Radium road bike out for a try. It was quite a different riding experience from the upright hybrid bike that I had been riding previously and I knew it w...

I love my bike! I’m really enjoying taking it out and things that I’d found difficult in the past seem so much easier. I went out on a 15 mile route this weekend with sections that I had cycled last year, involving a couple of hills, and found it went really well. Where I had to ...

Finally! The sun was shining on Sunday and I had a bike ride planned. I joined up with Davina McCall and the other ladies for the DIVA100 Sussex ride in aid of Action Medical Research. It was a great day, not just with the weather. The atmosphere was very friendly and supportive ...

I’ve just signed up to take part in what looks like another amazing ride! Taking place over two days I’ll get to cycle 180 miles around London taking in a number of iconic landmarks and even cycle part of the Olympic route. After 100 miles in the first day I’ll be ready to relax ...

This week I did it! I set myself a target distance and actually achieved it. A 40mile round trip to the office in Central London and back home. It ended up being a little further than I planned though (43.4m) as I managed to get lost a few times. I’m finding that my navigation is...

Every time I tell anyone about the cycling challenge I’m undertaking, there is always one question that I’m asked – whether or not I get a sore bum after spending so long in the saddle! I must admit I’m not normally one for sharing about these things but as everyone wants to know...
