OK Jamrox. I am going to do at least 30 minutes walking as usual, but I feel I need to do something extra too, so I am going to do 30 minutes ironing or cleaning - some kind of housework which uses the muscles in my arms more, 'cos my arms are quite weak and need the exercise. I will be on holiday for some of your challenge so I started the ironing/housework bit 8 days ago so that I still do my 42 days worth.

Thanks for organizing this, Jamrox. It should be fun to share our progress. Should we start a fund so we can send flowers to the injured?

Andy, why not do the Box hill ride on the 6th July? It's just been put up on the Bg website on the events page. Yay! Andy in lycra!

I am certainly in. 12000 steps on my pedometer every day and a trip to Curves for a half hour workout three times a week.

I have two dogs to help me stay on track. They are happy to accompany me on most of the 12000 steps.
Same, but three dogs here!
I was so inspired I took them for a 30min run this morning (well a bit of walking too, our oldest dog isn't up to running too far). Looking forward to keeping up with all you lovely peeps!:D

Lycra isn't essential, you have the alternative of teambg spandex hot pants Lol!:joyful:
I'll try to get more details on the route for you.
I'm in the same boat as you - only got my bike at Christmas, so I've got a bit of practicing to do! X
