PEDELLE 2019 here we come!
In June I will be taking part in a charity ride for PedElle, which is part of Club Peloton. The event is a women only ride and this year we will be heading to Italy and riding from Siena to Rome. The ride takes place over three days and covers a distance of 400km!!! We will ride from Siena to Montepulciano. Then on to Bolsena on day two, before the third and final day’s challenging 145km ride into Rome.
As a CYCLE TO... event, the ride will primarily be raising money for children's charity Coram;
'Coram's vision is that every child has the best possible chance to live a fulfilling life. We support children and young people from their earliest days to independence, creating a change that lasts a lifetime. We help build their confidence; we help them to develop skills; we uphold their rights and we find loving adoptive families for the most vulnerable.'

This is a huge challenge but for a very worth while cause, plus its my first cycling event after becoming a mummy! Show your support and help me raise money for those children less fortunate than my own.
Over three days, cyclists will ride from Siena to Rome. They will cover a distance of up to 500km with up to 6000m of climbing.
Flying out to Pisa early on Wednesday 19th June, there will be a coach transfer to your hotel in Siena leaving you with the afternoon to explore the heart of Tuscany and its medieval brick buildings.
On Thursday 20th June you'll start your two-wheeled journey south, through the Chianti olive groves and vineyards, over the hill-top towns and around the lakes. After three challenging days in the saddle you'll arrive in the heart of the Italian capital, Rome, to celebrate with your fellow riders. You are then free to fly home on Sunday 23rd or stay on for a longer break to explore the ancient city and the many masterpieces it has to offer.
