Just about to get ready for this years BHF Manchester to Blackpool night ride, 52 miles through the night to Blackpool and then - just to make it more of a challenge - we are riding back through the dawn to Rochdale and Oldham.
Start time is midnight, weather is fine so Blackpool here i come! |

120 miles we reckon, around 1000 riders heading out but just 3 of us on the return trip. Lots of lights, reflective kit and energy gels should see us through.
Did 130 miles between Liverpool and Leeds last month and that was ok so... |

That was tougher than I'd expected, the run to Blackpool was easy - suspiciously easy in fact. The return trip wasn't - damn headwind for the first 25 miles really sapped us. Ive now been awake for nearly 30hrs and have just ridden 110 miles into the bargain.
£150 raised for the BHF though  |

Well done you. Get yourself a rub down and soothe your muscles. |
