We are a group of colleagues from Barratt Manchester and consultants, embarking on an exciting and challenging journey to cycle from London to Paris from the 19th -22nd Sep. Each of us is at different fitness levels, making this a unique experience as we all push ourselves for a common cause: supporting ANDYSMANCLUB. Follow our progress, share our story, and help us reach our fundraising goal.
Everyone set off this weekend to prepare for our big trip next week, some serviced their bikes others did some last minute rides but I know of 3 of us who tried the latter and got completely weathered swept on Sunday!!!
Alex G and Sean W out on a Monday to get their proverbial cycle steps in!!
John Gosling , Andy Couch and Oliver Towle out a friendly but fierce cycle training session
I am probably not getting out as much as I can but not for lack of trying, a few killer hills but it got too dark to do a long route this time I did 12km and then just went up and the killer hill to get some dying practice in🚴🏻♀️🫁🌬️
John B of on his adventures again what a lovely flower arrangement
The further we go the more foodie we get! The team is really stuck in now we have just over 2 weeks to go !!!!!
Why burn thousands of calories if you can't replenish them with sweet cakey goodness more miles equals more cakes x
As they do they forgot to take a lot of photos but we will let them off as they did 140 something kilometers
Come Rain or shine the team is making an effort to get out enjoying the bike ride, cakes and lovely weather.
How many times do you need to change your tubes in an hour? Well Brad says 3! So sad to say the cycle was cut sort but points for trying to train on grey wet and windy day !
3 of us set of at 6 am and 2 of us ( that's me and you Craig) well let's just say we would still be out there if left unguided ! We learned a few things! no 1 luminous yellow attracts Wasps haha! bring spare tubes got lucky on that one and remember your gloves because office hands need love!!
The Clue was Alice, Alice, Who????....
