South Parade Pier (late night training)

We've been raising cash at ASDA over the last couple of weekends.  Last week at the Gosport store and did very well, especially when you consider the relatively small size of this branch. Shoppers were extremely generous and supportive, and the staff really looked after us well. This weekend we have been collecting at the Havant 'superstore'. We set up outside each entrance and enlisted some extra help from Sharon, Alasdair, Emma and Emily.

Once again this proved highly successful, and we have made significant progress towards our £10,000 target. So a big thank you to all those ASDA customers for their support. We really appreciate it.

We've been out on another Thursday night ride (this is developing into a habit). This time we were to be joined by Rickie in Cosham and the plan was to head off on another 30+ miles. However we had to modify our plan when Rickie picked up a puncture on his way to meet us. We caught up with him at Hilsea and after sorting his bike out, time was pressing and as we all had to work the next day we elected to just do the Portsea Island circuit (approximately 16 miles).

In other news...accommodation is sorted, courtesy of the T.A. Will will be staying at a number of T.A. centres across the country on our travels - result! 

Next, we have a fund raising event coming up at the Grosvenor Casino which should be fun, and we are collecting at more ASDA stores in the coming weeks. Oh, and there is the small matter of training. Seven weeks to go...
