Action 100 Cycle Ride

Having worked on the PR side alongside the volunteers who annually make the Action 100 charity cycle ride happen, Claire Thompson (otherwise known as Mrs Page) has committed to getting fit enough to ride in 2006 - its Silver Jubilee year. That's 100 miles from Bath to Chobham and it's going to hurt - lots! "This is my leap of faith and a public declaration that I'm doing the ride - without it, it would be way too easy to chicken out."

A little extra practise

Well, with kids away and therefore no need to ferry in cars, finally managed to cycle to work.

Half term: roads were dead - not great practise, but better than nothing.

Arrived, however, to the following news:
The A4 Bath Road between Bristol and Bath is to be closed this summer for major road-works.
Repairs to the A4 through Saltford will begin on 17 July and motorists will be unable to use the road for a period of about nine weeks. Bath traffic will be directed onto the A39 just before the Globe roundabout. Bristol motorists will be diverted at the Hicksgate roundabout, where the A4 meets the A4147 ring road.

So what? In a nutshell, this means a longer ride thanplanned, although I'm hoping that by startin g the ride from Bath this will be minimal!

(And for the organising team this means a massive communications effort to the riders as the route's changed!)

All good fun!
