This time last year ...
(Cross-posted from lilactoventoux)
... I had just reached the summit of Mont Ventoux. (You can read about that ride here.) Thanks to my lovely supporters, I managed to raise almost 1000 pounds for the Alzheimer's Research Trust in the UK.
For reasons too long and navel-gazy to go into, there is no bike challenge for me this Wear the Lilac Day. However I do plan to do something next year which quite frankly scares the living daylights out of me: I want to ride the whole route of the Amstel Gold Race in a single day. Once again, I'll be doing it to raise funds for Alzheimer's research, in memory of my Grandpa, and in honour of Sir Terry Pratchett.
I would like to make this an annual event (oops, I said that last year, didn't I?), so there'll be a name change (Bike Lilac) and I hope to launch a new website soon.
And now, I'm going to press send before I chicken out. Enjoy the rest of the 25th of May, and please do consider donating to your local Alzheimer's research organisation.
Thanks for reading. xx
