I launched my summer fundraiser yesterday. In place of doing the Prudential Ride London, I’ve decided to ride 1000 mile for Blood Cancer UK between July 16 and August 16 - finishing with completing the PRL100 on the Zwift platform.
Read about it on my blog! 
Good luck Dave. My SIL did LEJOG a few years back. He is enjoying getting out on the bike again since lockdown. Will donate in the next few days
Wow, Dave, it will be quite a challenge, go for it and we will be reading about it on your blog.
Wow, that’s amazing. Good luck! X
Brief update, 6 rides done as of this morning, just short of 200 miles covered.
£345 raised to date!
Wow, Dave you are doing really well, please keep posting your progress.
Wow, that’s Amazing!
Thanks guys! however, I’ve been off the bike for a couple of days. I didn’t quite factor the effect of a daily ride would be on my anatomy!
Including the first few days of the ride, I’d ridden 18 days consecutively. As a result I “think” I’ve given myself an infection due to perineal pressure. I’ve been on antibiotics since Thursday. I say “think” as I’ve not had face to face with GP, only telephone consultation, describing symptoms, which I foolishly omitted to mention the bike ride. But I did some research and it does kind of add up for me, but I do have appointment booked in after I complete meds etc…Temperature hit 38.9 at one point to so have done a covid test to rule that out.
I’m much better today, temp normal, appetite back and I’ve swapped my saddle to a more ergonomic one that was on my other bike. Hopefully, I’ll get back on saddle tomorrow to continue my journey !
Bear this in mind folks if you are planning a multi-day bike ride!!
Hope you start to feel better soon!
Take care and I hope you are soon riding up hill and down dale.
End of 2 weeks, blog update! 
Amazing! Think you deserve a well earned rest! Well done!
Thanks @dmquinlan, great effort and dedication. I am worn out just reading your reports.
Done! and my target exceeded… I just have my final blog to write…
Why am amazing achievement! What have you got planned now it’s all done. Rest and relaxation?
Ha! yes, some rest, then catch up on some gardening / diy & some music projects… aiming to keep up the weekly miles on the bike too… not to same extent of course.
Fantastic, well done!
That is absolutely brilliant and I am impressed by your catch up list including the weekly bike mileage. What music projects are you planning?
I play with Hitchin Band (Brass Band) as well as other groups… all on pause for now. Hitchin have a recording project on the go, we all record video of ourselves playing and it get’s “glued together” to create a video of everyone playing. I’m a bit behind in my submissions due to my training / charity bike ride.
I blogged about the various projects I was involved with … http://www.dmq-online.net/music-during-lockdown/
Thanks for the link @dmquinlan, wow, what a trumpet player and I had forgotten Mrs Q was a professional singer and with such a beautiful voice. I will be singing ‘Fly me to the moon’ to myself for the rest of the day. Please let us know how the projects go.
