Posted: 31 Jul 2010 at 7:26pm

Hi,

I've just discovered a girly issue with cycling shorts & ...well.. shaving. As I'm sure there's girls out there who have discovered this too, have you found solutions?
Please email me at dizzyjojo1980@gmail.com if you have any solutions.

Sorry if this breaks any rules or is in the wrong forum section.

Thanks

Jo

Hi Sarah,
I'm excited & nervous lol. No worries about the milage, must go a round way :-) What type of roads dis you go on? Were they A roads or little back roads? I get nervous on A roads at the moment so am a bit wary. I live in Kent so am hoping to do the Crystal Palace- Dover ride before we go, just so I know I can do it lol.
Well done on doing it :-) xx]]> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:18:44 +0000 http://www.skylineoverseas.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=295&PID=6364#6364 http://www.skylineoverseas.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=351&PID=6363#6363 Author: ishtar 6237

hi angela, nice to hear from you! Im also hoping to do Snowdon, but probably have to wait for a good day if we are gonna get any more summer lol
It does seem diffucult to train using steps as the steps round here are all same size and I believe that on the wall, they all vary? But maybe uphill will help to strengthen legs and knees, well that what I hope! maybe if you want to meet up one weekend if not busy fund-raising, we cud go up snowdon or another BIG mountain?
Hope to hear from you soon

Hi, I am doing the China Trek for Kidney Research. I have struggled for the past four weeks to do any training due to two extremely hot holidays (a Nile cruise for my 50th was one!). I did try to do as much walking as possible, but the heat was up to 50 degs on some days.   I did climb Helvellyn just over a month ago, which is a great one to do as it is a real uphill slog (some mountains can be quite gently - but this one starts from the minute you get to the base!!!)   I am based in Preston, Lancs. and would love to do the Snowdon climb (have been up it several times years ago, but afraid I always cheated and used the train!). Because of my trips - one I only got back from yesterday, I can't make the London meeting, and as I am doing this on my own would love to meet up with anyone before the trip.

Because of fundraising, I too have only just looked at training schedules, kit lists, visas, etc. so realise I really have my work cut out. Walking isn't a problem as I can and do walk quite long distances - I just need to sort out a training programme for all those steps!!!

I have annual insurance with my bank, so need to check with them on Monday that I am covered for this trip.

Look forward to hearing from anyone]]> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:11:48 +0000 http://www.skylineoverseas.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=288&PID=6361#6361 http://www.skylineoverseas.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=351&PID=6360#6360 Author: angelajohnson

Hi, I too am on the China Trek, but have just had a whirlwind four weeks. A 50th birthday Nile cruise, and a trip to Ibiza from which I returned last night with my 15 year old son (my 21 year old daughter is out there for 4 weeks).   I now need to start training in earnest. I did walk to the top of Helvellyn a few weeks ago, but because of my jaunts abroad have not done as much as I should for the past few weeks. I have tried my best to walk for as long as possible each day (sometimes up to four hours)- but because of the heat in both places it's not been possible to do anything more strenuous.   

Where are you based.   I am doing the trip on my own, and am excited too. I can't make the meeting this weekend. I live in Preston, Lancs, and I too would love to hear from anyone else on the trip.

Can't believe it is only 9 weeks away!!]]> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:54:47 +0000 http://www.skylineoverseas.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=351&PID=6360#6360 http://www.skylineoverseas.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=294&PID=6359#6359 Author: LOSCHES

Jo,
I did L-P a couple of weeks ago; the cycle computer clocked up 100 miles by the time we got to the hotel in Calais on day 1; so it's definitely 90-95 miles from London to Dover, with more cycling on the other side of the channel to the hotels.....it's a long day, but the whole experience is worth it! You'll enjoy it!

Isn't the route London - Calais. Technically, 22 miles is across the Channel?

That's what I was thinking anyway.
