Pedal Wye Valley 2025

Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I'm taking part in Pedal Wye Valley for Parkinson’s UK this September and would appreciate your support! 

Please help by sponsoring my cycling challenge to mark my 70th Birthday in October. I aim to complete the 24.8 miles and 1,938ft elevation in a respectable time on my trusty steed Lancashire Lizzie. All the money raised will go to Parkinson’s UK's work in support of their UK wide physical activity and exercise programmes with the aim of helping people with Parkinson's get active and stay active.

En route from Llanhennock to Tredunnoc earlier this year

Thursday 28th Aug

Late afternoon spin round the Llanhennock Lloop

Thursday 28th Aug
Dodged the showers today to enjoy one of my favourite local routes, just 14 miles and 950+ ft. elevation. Little and often is my current motto!  

Picturesque pootle into Powys

Wednesday 27th Aug
A couple of short rides around Kington at the weekend to keep Lizzie & I moving.

One month to go and generous friends have taken my fundraising to over £750!!!

Wednesday 20th Aug
Today's training ride, kindly plotted and led by our leader Sarah, took us from Caerwent around a beautiful and challenging circular route of climbs and downhills. Up to Shirenewton, down to St Arvan's (past the Chepstow Racecourse start) then up again, accompanied by a convoy of porshes (!), down past Tintern Abbey and on to the Old Railway Station for lunch. Well rested, it was over the river onto the Wye Valley Greenway and through the Tidenham Tunnel (lights off please to protect the bats) to Chepstow. Back down across the Wye beside the castle, up out of Chepstow, then down Mathern Hill and back to Caldicot, where we'd parked next to the Roman remains. Wow, what a spectacular route! Definitely one to do again ...

Training Ride from Llandogo to The Narth via Whitebrook (and back)

Wednesday 13th Aug
Today it was time to tackle the first serious climbs of Pedal the Wye. The route took me up a beautifully shaded wooded valley on a quiet road beside White Brook. The downhill back was well worth the climb! 

Celebrating kind friends' generous sponsorship - £600 so far!

Wednesday 13th Aug
On Monday I cycled with my BREEZE Buddies from Tredegar Park in Newport up to Cwmcarn Visitor Centre where we enjoyed a convivial pitstop. I then decided to celebrate the generous £600 donations from my kind friends by cycling solo to the top of the Forest Drive. Thanks to my Trusty Steed Lancashire Lizzie I got there! Whoop, whoop!
