Great 100 mile training ride today with Michael Banner. This is the furthest weve gone so far in preparation for the 14:14:14 Cycle Challenge. Hats off to Michael for the way he rode today. Completing the 100 miles for the first time isnt what is impressive......it is the fact that today was the first time hes ridden his bike in 4 weeks due to a persistent knee injury, which is still aggravating him. Hes now at the point that with only 12 weeks to go until the start of the ride, he simply wont have the fitness to complete the challenge unless he gets back training. Michael was in a whole world of pain and discomfort today, suffering muscle cramps throughout both legs. But, other than our scheduled stop at Enzo Nantwich, for coffee and cake ( Ive never seen anyone throw two pieces of cake down their neck in the time it took me to eat one!), he carried on pedalling and pushing through the pain! Any doubts that we may have had when he joined Team Ciara with regard to him completing the challenge are now gone! Hes clearly got the drive and mental strength to do the ride and from now on, hell be known as Michael Big Bollocks Banner! #itsallaboutthegirls justgiving/TeamCiara14-14-14 With Colin McLoughlin, Sion Owen, Lawrence Holland, Gayle Fowler
