| A 'priceless' card for a priceless cycle :) |
Recently we did our biggest cycle as training prior to me cycling in a charity event on the 14th June, and it was around the Isle of Wight.
My Dad and Brother got up really early to make it down to us, and we cycled from our house down to the Isle of Wight ferry (which takes about 5 minutes) where we met our friend Matt, and we then cycled around the Island and back to the ferry.

| A really tough hill my Brother gave me a bit of help to get up |
It was 65miles (105km) and took us about 6 hours. Everybody apart from myself and my husband are experienced cyclers and they really looked after us. It was a really tough ride with pretty big hills - I haven't done anything like them before. The scenery was really beautiful which definitely helped as my average heart rate was 160 for the 6 hours and I needed a little distraction to keep going - particularly when we hit the two biggest hills, and the hail hit us simultaneously!! That was pretty special climbing a massive hill in torrential rain, particularly when the wind picked us up and moved us into the middle of the road........the rest of the day was entirely sunny. Here we are at the end of the day....
