Story

I'm riding the Festive 500 at Herne Hill Velodrome it's's 500km, 310 miles or 1112 laps of the track!

We start at 1pm on the 27th December and ride through the night hoping to finish anywhere between 8am and 5pm the following day.

Gulp! terrified, yes, especially the mental side going round and round and round. But it will be worth it as I'm fundraising for Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) and the Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome. 

SDCAS work to support asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in South London. They provide vital practical support, advice and welcoming community for hundreds of people every month. The money raised will go directly to their fund they use to support their homeless clients with basic needs. 

I am aiming to raise £1 for every lap, please do chip in if you can.

One month to go! 

Feeling excited and not a little bit nervous. 

Training is going ok although it has been suggested that an actual long ride (rather than Zwift and the odd cross race) might be in order.
