What an amazing day!

Monday 23rd Jun
Wow what a day it was yesterday.
356kms (including a heady wind for 100kms) in the bag! What a great bunch of people from all over the country and world, riders and charity workers alike.  14hrs 34mins and 34 secs ride time, 3,312 metres climbed, and 13,859 calories spent. I was in the hotel at 10pm last night but my body would hardly sleep so I got up, painfully cycled 35 minutes to Paddington, and caught an early train back home to Cardiff (on it now).
The Ambitious About Autism charity has asked us to keep asking for donations.  If you still have a little coin to share please do share it this week.
Thanks Rapha and thank to the charity team that really turned up for us!

1 week to go!

Saturday 14th Jun
Recovery rides in the bag after the final big training session of 250k last week.
I have hit and exceeded the initial pledge to charity but if your still thinking about it please have a read of the great work that is done at Ambitious About Autism. 
'Autistic children and young people are at the heart of everything we do. We stand with them, champion their rights​ and create opportunities.

'We run specialist schools and colleges, national youth and employability programmes and we campaign for change.

We work with others to increase autism acceptance. We see a future where every autistic child and young person can be themselves and realise their ambitions.'

Massive training ride in the bag...

Big training efforts on the Saturday 7
th for the Ambitious About Autism charity ride! Wanted to reassure all the kind people who are donating that I can do it!  250km in just over eight hours!  Definitely had it in me to push on to the 350kms but we will keep that effort for the 22nd!  Thank you all for your support.  I have reached the initial pledge but please keep it coming as every penny counts!

The final approach!

Saturday 24th May
Only 4 weeks to go to my longest ride yet! Riding to raise money for the charity Ambitious About Autism. Lots of training in the bag which you can can see if you follow me on Strava or Zwift but this one is a real long one! Won't lie it is a bit daunting but I will make it to the end of the 350 kilometres of Manchester to London no matter how long it takes. You can contribute to the cause via the link below.  All donations are very much appreciated by myself and especially the charity and the children who really need this support!  https://ambitious220.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/fundraisers/markphillips
