Many years ago - in fact very, very many - I had a go at some cycle racing - I worked with someone who was a racing cyclist and I went out with him training for a while, he got me interested in having a go - I wasn't very good at it - the dedication and sacrifices were too much and too many for me - they still are.
This weekend saw City Centre cycle racing come to Lichfield, just down the road. The roads were closed and a short circuit of about a mile or so was set up. It was arranged for various abilities and ages, and riders were able to turn up, sign on and have a go. Gary and I rode over there, braving the showery weather, See if you can spot us in the clips below.
It all started in 2011 - we decided to ride Lands End to John O Groats, since then we've completed a number of 'challenges' raising over £15,000 for various charities. You can read about our adventures here, and also our on-going efforts to keep on cycling!
