Kili 2 Coast

12/06/2026

Different kind of training tonight for 2 of us. Probably more millilitres 🍺 than kilometres 🚲 but lots of fun and a birthday to celebrate with Steven Walton. Started with 6, gained 5 and finished with 7! Thanks to the Arkwright Arms Olly Bradshaw for being open all hours and our final stop with Bradshaws Farm Shop The Bellflower The Patten Arms

Anxiety is bad enough riding alone in Garstang . But riding in Spain felt a whole new level of character building!
Picked my bike up which I have to say Black Beauty 2nd needs to be worried .
I had only done 3 miles lost
Then lost again
Then again 🤦🏼‍♀️
Now I know I can't always follow sighs but ..... I was in car mode not bike mode !!! 😂
Then it all made sense ! I had done a trail run in the car the day before but hey !!!
A couple of u turns and one very dodgy area I got back on track , it was good to get some track training in too.

🚴 Stupid O’Clock Club rolls again tomorrow morning! 🚴

Drop a 🚴 below or message if you fancy joining us for an unnecessarily early bike ride!

No pressure, a good dose of fresh air and the smug feeling of being done before most people have had a brew ☕️

🚴‍♀️ Kili2Coast Weekend Round-Up! 🚴‍♀️

Firstly, a HUGE thank you to Garstang Cycling Club for their incredibly generous donation of £200 towards our fundraising 🙌 It was lovely to have a photo opportunity with you all. Special thanks to Captain Morgan, Phil Morgan for helping organise it all – we really appreciate your support. We’re hoping to join you on a ride very soon (brace yourselves 😜).

Meanwhile, Sammy got some solid saddle time in this morning 🚴‍♂️ Solo rides are never the easiest to motivate yourself for, and it just shows the effort that goes into training around busy lives, jobs, family and trying to fit everything in. Every mile counts! 💪

And then there’s Em… 🤣 Still firmly committed to training for the celebration phase with a glass of Sav and Spam Fitters 🍷😂 BUT… she has headed off to Spain for some heat acclimatisation training ☀️🔥 Have the best time Em! We expect sweaty training updates! 😘🇪🇸

🚴‍♀️ Training Update! 🚴‍♀️

After last nights fantastic quiz fundraiser it was back to training in the saddle this morning.

H Bomb hit the roads before the rain arrived 💨🌧️ smashing out the miles.

Em was meant to join the stupid o’clock club, but sadly Black Beauty has been put out to pasture with a few technical issues. Huge thanks to Lloyd's Bicycle Services for helping sort the chain clucking (or clunking… who even knows at this point! 😂).

Sammy is heading out solo later this week — watch this space for updates 👀🚴‍♀️

The Stupid o’clock club were low on numbers!

Auntie Ann met up with Dawnie Dawn Painterfor an early ride. Sadly, Lee “Captain Morgan’s” Dickinson is still recovering from last week 🍹😆, while Elizabeth Webster appears to have lost her battle with the alarm clock ⏰

There was a quick pit stop at Hamlets Butchers one of our fabulous sponsors, for an early morning sausage… except apparently too early, because sausages weren’t available at that time! 🌭😭

Please follow, share and donate if you can.
