I have started a training schedule to be ready for the sponsored ride on July 7th. This morning I rode 30 miles to Castle Howard and back on a circular route. York -> Haxby -> Strensall -> Flaxton -> Foston -> Castle Howard -> Bulmer -> Sheriff Hutton -> Strensall -> Huntington -> York.  I chose this route today because there are a few steepish hills on the route – though nothing like the one’s I’ll encounter in the Yorkshire Dales. 

If the picture looks odd – I was trying to use my iPhone backwards – not easy and I am sort of squinting at the sun and scowling at the phone. I’ve set up ShoZu so that I can email pictures straight to this blog – although the formatting may be odd until I can logon to the site from a computer to sort it out.

If you haven’t sponsored me yet you can do it here
