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."

9 am Derry Hill


Still averaging 10 miles an hour and up with the bulk of the riders. No sign of family yet - miss and need them! Text to let people know how I'm doing.

Am given bananas and water which are just what I need.

Try and purchase some fruit and nuts from charity stand, but am also given these.

Only fly in ointment is the lady with the water, who insists on giveng all the men their water drinks before me.

Am told by fellow rider that I look glamorous, which I don't feel, but guess has something to do with the fact that I chose to ride in a cheesecloth top instead of a riding shirt as it's cool and light and also keeps the sun off.

Maybe the banana lady didn't think I was riding?
