If you read my previous blog posts you would know that this year I have set myself the task of completing a challenge (sometimes 2 or 3) a month for 2015. Challenge number 14 of this year was to ride the L’etape London Sportive. This was a 115 mile ride starting at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, heading through London up to Saffron Walden before returning in a loop back to the Olympic Velodrome where we would finish with a sprint lap around the Velodrome itself (not as I had previously thought a lap of the Velodrome track!)

It was a great route, not very hilly considering the mileage but well organised and great fun and one that I completed with my good mates Neil & Ray.

This year sees 3 more challenges before the training for 2016 begins this winter.
