In 2014 I cycled 5,000 miles in a calendar year to raise money for Trees for Life, a charity very close to my personal beliefs.

2015 was a difficult year for me for a number of reasons, but in 2016 I'm back with a new goal to raise even more for the amazing folks at Trees for Life. 

This years goal is bigger, better and more challenging than before! Something will personally challenge me to new limits and is truly deserving of your donation: A total of 10,000 miles in the calendar year! 

8,900 miles on the bike

1,000 miles running

100 miles swimming

There will be triathlons, marathons, an ascent of Kilimanjaro in October and I'll take on the Alps on two wheels in June.

My travel and work schedule is pretty intense, so to make this challenge possible, let's set out a few rules:

 - Miles can be clocked both inside and outside of the gym or on a turbo        trainer. (70% of my year is spent on the road and I can't take my bike          with me)

- ALL miles will be logged on my Strava account:                                     www.strava.com/gingerbittersonabike

- I will complete at least 1 triathlon (standard length), 1 marathon and 1       bike race during the calendar year.

Thank you for taking the time to view my challenge.
