Introduction


Hi all. This blog is going to cover my training over the next few months and the ride itself for the Amsterdam 300 cycle ride for Scope in September. 300 miles in 2, yes 2, days, from London to Amsterdam.

The idea of the ride is daunting to say the least. An overnight cycle from London to Dover, 80 miles, catch the ferry to Calais and then straight back on the bike for another 110 miles to just outside Bruges in Belgium, camp for the night – not even a proper bed, and set off at dawn for another 110 odd miles into Amsterdam. 300 miles and 4 countries in 2 days!

Big thanks to VeloUK who have helped to sort me out some great kit. Please visit them using the link.

I also had an idea about doing a blog throughout the whole experience to pass on any tips I can, helpful advice, and hopefully and entertaining piece that might help anyone thinking of doing a charity ride.

Basically if I can do it then you can do it!

If you enjoy this blog and would like to sponsor me please visit my online donations page.

So here it is. Read on and enjoy.

Apologies for the lack of posts

Greetings all.

Apologies for the lack of posts but things have been hotting up (not just the weather!!).
The wedding plans and preparations and coming along nicely and the invites have been sent (sorry if you haven't received one).
Most importantly the cycling is coming on a storm. Taking full advantage of the weather I am out most evenings for an hour or 2 and out at the weekends as much as possible.
I am trying to fit in a few overnight rides, but it's difficult to find the time.

Until next time

Daniel
