Today’s training ride to Scarbados, lots of hills in preparation for #paris2geneva in aid of British Heart Foundation with MC Events

Two weeks today and I’ll be setting off from Paris and starting my cycling challenging to Geneva. Riding across the Mura Mountains in the heat… I’m raising money for British Heart Foundation justgiving.com/page/anna-mars… MC Events

My weekend of training didn’t go according to plan thanks to the weather, but I cycled 221 over the course of the week. Over the weekend I did two short and fast (ish) rides, two turbo rides and then out on the Yorkshire Wolds. 10 days to go! #Paris2Geneva MC Events

Did my final bike ride before I head off to London tomorrow and then on to Paris where I will start my next challenge in aid of British Heart Foundation organised by MC Events #paris2Geneva

Let’s smash this for British Heart Foundation

83 miles with sun and rain today! And hills! Legs are feeling it! 97 miles tomorrow along with more rain!

Day three should have been 97 miles but turned out to be longer when I missed the stop for lunch as wasn’t on my route… A tough day emotionally along with a panic attack.

Day four of Paris2Geneva! Mountains day! After 260 miles in three days, today is a big day on the bike.

Yesterday’s ride to Driffield was an interesting one with all the cars on the road and mainly the Wahoo problems. So glad it didn’t happen on my Paris2Geneva trip as I would have been in trouble. Bet they are losing so much custom from this.

#OnThisDay four years ago I completed Lands End to John O’Groats. What an amazing challenge with fond memories.

20 years ago today I started working at Hull City Council within the communications and marketing team. Everyday I work hard to make a difference. It has been a great experience. Who knows what the future holds.

New turf 🌱 The transformation of Queen’s Gardens continues to take shape as fresh turf begins rolling out across the southern side. In total, 4,511m² of lush green turf, the equivalent of 18 tennis courts is being laid in this area of the gardens.
