NEW BLOG LINK

Our GGBB section on conservatives.com website now has a link to this blog.

Next week, we'll have an online application form, and the first venues for GGBB Mass Rides.
feels like we've pedalled hard to the brow of the hill so can finally see the view. and the view's lovely.
check back here for details of the upcoming Press launch.

HELP NEEDED...
PLANNING AHEAD...
Volunteers across the South West to post flyers for Mass Rides at their leisure centres, swimming pools etc.
The more we can arrange poster groups locally, the fewer miles we'll have to drive and the greener the whole operation will be!

Get in touch with us via the blog or email janegould77@hotmail.com .

thanks!

FIT FOR PURPOSE?

I am working out (almost) daily now, going to the gym at 7am six days a week! All this exercise is RUINING my hair, but at least the biking's getting easier... That's my personal sacrifice to the GGBB - haystack hair for next three months! What's yours?

Great news this week for the Long Distance Rides:

Jeremy Hunt and his team involved in this year's Social Action project will be cycling from Westminster to Conference with the GGBB - although raising money for their projects rather than our chosen charity, REGAIN.
We have said all along that although we hope to raise a serious amount of money for REGAIN, if delegates taking part in the long distance rides want to cycle for a different charity that's great too!

Watch out for the Application Form on Conservatives.com

Do send in your biking / training pics, videos etc....


P.S. I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to my sister Annie.

Monday, 23rd June



The gym workout's getting easier every day and I'm actually enjoying getting fit for the GGBB. Note to self - Must remember to check weights and resistance before wondering why the quad-builder rolling torture machine won't budge.



Fitness by Design in Gillingham have devised a great programme to get me from here to Birmingham in one piece.
It's the carrot and stick approach.
The workout's the big stick; blissful sauna the carrot... and it's already making difference to the actual biking.


We're getting loads of GGBB enquiries via the Conservative Party websitehttp://www.conservatives.com/tile.do?def=party.event.detail.page&obj_id=140020

and all this from just our GGBB logo, one paragraph and a photo. Really exciting!


we'll soon be posting an Application Form with a list of GGBB Mass Ride venues in the participating Regions.


so watch this space, upload your own cycling and training pix and stories.

Join us as we have fun and support REGAIN.

REGAIN is a great cycling charity. Much more about them on our next GGBB blog...
