On the 26th of May I’ll leave Bristol on my bike in the hope of cycling it to Amsterdam on my own. According to googlemaps, the 458 miles would take 8 hours and 30 minutes to drive, but I’ll probably need 10 days. Taking into consideration my lack of map-reading skills and the fact I’ve never done anything like this alone before, it’s a bit of a challenge! Training is going well so far, the things I’m worried about most are cycling on the wrong side of the road when I hit France, getting saddle-sore and developing a habit of talking to myself. I’m beginning to question why I’m doing this and I’m very scared about how I’ll keep going all alone, but I’m ecstatic that so many people have pledged to sponsor me up until now. I’m hoping to raise at least £458, one pound for each mile, but with your help maybe we could raise more. After all, I’ll need something to keep me going!

Thanks,
Sarah
