63 DAYS UNTIL TAIWAN! I made the most of the glorious sunshine at the weekend and did my longest bike ride yet of 60km as well as a swim at Brockwell lido. I was exhausted come the end of the weekend, but this will pretty much be my life now until we fly in May with Hospitality Rides. This is the biggest challenge I have ever set myself (cycling 400km across Taiwan), and training is not easy. But knowing the money I raise will go towards Only A Pavement Away who help people facing homelessness get into work in hospitality, and Licensed Trade Charity who support those in need who are working in the industry, really drives me to keep training. Thank you to my sponsors so far, Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow and Anglian Country Inns. If you would like to sponsor me too for a logo placement on my cycling jersey, please get in touch. Or if you would like to donate, you can do so using this link: https://lnkd.in/eiEwhHXi 🚴♀️ 🚵♀️
