So 2025!!
January in the bit of the UK I live in, has been very cold, snowy, wet and generally grey, although we have had some lovely crisp, sparkly days, a typical British winter really! ❄️
Thank you to those people who have shared their challenges for 2025, be really great if you gave us an update, and told us how you are getting along with your training or how the event went 😊😊
A number of people from the running group I belong to, are running the Manchester Marathon with Sean, I wish you all, all the best and I hope you hit the targets you have been working towards.
Ben, I hope you carry on enjoying the cycling, let us know how you get along with anymore long rides, especially the 205 km one's 🫨😲
Kaz, loved the New Zealand and Australian photo's, looking forward to the Greenland one's - keep pedalling and running but most of all enjoy it 😊
Gravel riding during the winter can be great fun, for me it's a question of putting as many layers of clothes as is humanly possible, thick socks, lobster gloves & a snood before venturing out. With wider 38 mm tyres on my bike, it feels a lot safer on the trails than riding on the road. It's also a lot more fun 😁
Speaking personally, I'm training for 3 exciting challenges; cycling Munich to Rome, cycling Hadrian's Cycle Way, with a lovely group of friends & swimming the Dart 10 km .😁😲🫨 My swimming could best described as slow, (or even very slow) it certainly lacks a good technique, and if I were to enter a competition of any sort, I would get the wooden spoon 🤣 However, I'm doing this particular challenge to challenge myself and for no other reason.
What ever you are doing and whenever you are doing it, let us know, it is always good to read about what other people are doing. 😁
If you are doubting yourself in any way, believe in yourself.
I have 2 moto's "She said she could, so she did!" and "I can and I will" 👍

Hii have booked a cycling trip in Slovenia
Wow Jane, so impressed, when are you going? where are you cycling from and to or are you staying in one area to explore?
Sow I finally have plans. We’re on a cycle tour of Sri Lanka next month and then booked for 7 days in the Dordogne in July before moving east to watch the Tour de France near Ventoux, before it heads into the Alps.
Wow, those sound like Epic trips. A cycle tour of Sri Lanka, that will present so many wonderful sights, smells and food. The Dordogne will be lovely and hopefully not to hot & topping it off watching the Tour de France, sounds absolutely perfect. We definitely need to know how things go. 😁
You must have blinked- Greenland photos were on display last July 🤣
Two 10k’s, and Ride the Night on my hit list for this year so far, but definitely gearing up to some cycling trips. Looking forward to following your challenges this year. That swim will be epic.
Apologies Kaz, 😵💫I thought Greenland was this year. Will have to go and have go and look at the Photo's, looks like an amazing place to visit! 👍
Keep up the good work Wendy, I never seem to get very far when 🏊♂️
Thank you Louise, I never get far swimming, I’m hoping to get a bit quicker over the summer xx
