As mentioned previously, I entered the Cycle Tour Charity Challenge to raise funds for the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust last month. My family in Cape Town - my Dad, Mom, brother and nephews - also entered, and it was wonderful to take part in this iconic event together - albeit on separate continents!
I completed my Charity Challenge on Sunday, 21st March, on a beautiful day in southern Indiana. I cycled many scenic roads around Daviess County and finished my 109 kms (or 68 miles) in 5 hrs 35 mins. I even made a "109" pattern with my route - a screenshot of which I attach here. Everything was logged through the Strava tracking app and the Cycle Tour office had access to it in order to log official finishers.
I have decided to continue cycling throughout the year, as I have lost some weight and feel far healthier now that I am being more active!

A fast downhill on my route. Happy not to climb up this!
A pretty farm scene - complete with a barn quilt. :)
Cycling along the highway - another pretty barn and barn quilt are to the left.
Inquisitive groundhog on the road.
Bike safety is important here.

Enjoying a Crawford post-cycle tradition, a brown cow - Coca-Cola and milk - after my long ride!
