This will be my third and very much hardest Cycle to Mapic as I also look to 'warm-up' with an attempt at the Red Bull Time Laps event beforehand.
Cycle to Mapic 2019 sees an exciting route change, much more climbing and a higher average daily mileage than previous editions. If that's not a big enough change to unsettle my fragile confidence, I've opted to join a team to take on the longest single day bike race in the UK beforehand!
At 12noon on Saturday I will join 1,016 other 'athletes' to ride a beautiful, but soon to become monotonous, circuit around Windsor Great park for 25 hours as part of a 4 man team. The forecast is appalling and my mum says I get even more grumpy when sleep deprived!
With two great events in such a short time I'd like to support two great charities like Club Peloton and Coram. I've probably bored you before about the great work of these charities so I wont do so again - I will however plead for your support!
You can either choose to support my attempt at these two cycle challenges or sponsor my family who have to deal with an even more grumpy Gav after I try to stay awake for 25 hours!
