My target 1000 kms

1 Sep 24 Day 1

Long hard day in the saddle try and give myself some breathing space in the bank in case something happens. Suffering a bit now though need to work out my diet if going smash out big hits as started to feel drained. CV is not my thing never has been! Left leg still sore but bearable Day 1 nipped only another 800 and odd KM to go whilst very busy at work and staying strong on the weights. #getoutdoors #mentalhealthmatter #combatstress … it’s under way in earnest now and the donations are climbing but every penny counts. We all know someone suffering or have suffered with mental health and or PTSD, so if you can spare to anything for this worthwhile charity please donate and watch me suffer! #bekind and to all those that have already donated thank you so much your support is greatly appreciated as is your kind words and sarcasm #biglove for those Queens Own Highlanders amongst you a wee trip down memory lane around Tidworth and watering holes!

So only a couple weeks to go till the start and get this 1000km challenge each nipped. Picked up calf injury at weekend but will be fine for the start line. 19 days to go and £99 short of my preferred target, so if you can and only if you can spare a penny for our Veterans who give so much and have to fight for support once they leave as they are forgotten and discarded then please do. Combat Stress helps in so many ways particularly those that suffer with Mental Health and need support. Be kind, mental health matters

Update 22 July

Currently concentrating on raising £500 as that’s what I think is my realistic target but would love so much more. Such a worth while cause and I don’t like CV!

Trg will start in Aug for real with a gradual build up, probably average 25k a day for first two weeks then 35k so that come 1 Sep minimum I will do is 40km a day but on some far more consistency will be my key to success and ensure 1000km by 30 Sep. 

I'm taking part in the Combat Stress CycleSeptember challenge!

This year I will be taking on CycleSeptember and cycling 250, 500, 750 or 1,000 kilometers to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

I’m taking vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.
