Motivation

Motivation for this ride comes in many forms. Firstly just being part of a great adventure, even if I'm only playing a small part. This captures my imagination. Secondly, the chance to get to back to some proper cycling. I know I've missed going on longer rides. Spending time with girls growing up brings so many joys but it's very different from previous adventures cycling in Southern France to the Spanish border or around Northern Ireland (more about that another time)! The opportunity to raise some money.....icing on the cake! And just when I think that's all I need to focus on. I find out that if I raise the most money of the 8 competition winners who are currently riding the last day, I get to ride the whole of Stage 5!!!! This includes a 150kms day riding over the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix. Oh yes please! Motivation :)
