October 2013 is Great Cycle Challenge Month

Just a quick post to remind everyone that this month is The Great Cycle Challenge, and I’m riding 1500km in aid of children’s cancer research.

This is a bit more than my normal training volume, but it’s a very worthy cause. If you support this, sponsor me here.

I’ll be posting semi-regular updates on my challenge page, and will be trying to exceed 50km each day of the month, in order to get nicely ahead of the curve. I’m racing a 100km XCM at Kanangra on the 20th, so I’ll have to tailor a taper programme around that, so ideally I want to be well into the upper range of the 1500km before then. Today’s weather isn’t looking helpful, but them’s the breaks in cycling.
