"Didn't quite make the Boxhill Ballbuster in the end although I ran in a relay race there last weekend. 250 steps up the hill and then racing down the other side - brutal!

Yes, cycling's definitely a summer sport for me I have to say :)

Have you…"

"No funnily enough I haven't done that much since. Running is more of a preference so I tend to lean more towards that.That said, I'm being tempted by a duathlon in November which is based at Box Hill - the Box Hill BallBuster! Like you say though,…"

"Cool bananas! Definitely be good to do it again.Yeah they weren't great were they but funnily enough they tasted good to me too and gave me the last boost I needed to get to the finish. Potassium?"

"Hey! Yeah a bit delayed myself too...Well, it seems a while back now but fond memories remain. I loved the whole event despite having neither ideal preparation nor fuelling, and perhaps blasting off a bit too quick at the start and paying for it on…"

"Hi - funnily enough just thinking of updating you as I've been out on the route twice now...

"Hi - yeah getting closer now...I probably haven't ridden more than 5 miles for months so hoping my running training will see me through...That said, I've procured myself a decent bike to do it on now which should help and all being well I'll get…"

"Hey Kitty - bike training fairly minimal right now...

I've got Tough Mudder in a couple of weeks and then a few running races to follow so I'm hoping that those should translate into something that will work on the bike :)I've never ridden that far…"

"Just had the confirmation pack through today, so yes, I am doing it!

I'm actually much nearer to London though so Wirral might be a bit of a stretch...

We can look out for each other on the day though - happy cycling :)"
