Cycle Event Postponed

After seven months of planning and training, i've suffered a major setback in the fundraising event. My cycle ride from Lands End to John O'Groats has to be postponed due to my knee problems. In recent weeks I've been increasing the frequency and distance of my training rides in order to acclimatise myself to the distances I will have to achieve during the event. Unfortunately, my knee isn't progressing well enough, infact it's getting much worse. Last week I had to cut a training session short after only 20 miles. Having spent several sessions with my doctor and physiotherapist, I've been advised not to do the event. It's a setback, but not a write off. The injury is only brought on by the leg strokes I use on a Road Bike. The injury doesn't affect me when I ride a mountain bike. So I'll change my training regime once my knee has recovered and hopefully I'll be able to complete the event sometime soon. Stay tuned for more details!!!
