The 100 mile challenge I think is a great idea - though it started off as mum's challenge - so she had most input! However when she picked the date in November I knew it was not going to be a very good time for me - right in the middle of World Cup set up in Beaver Creek (my paying job heading up the dye team!) However it was mum's challenge after all - and she didn't want to leave it too long and

A bit late with this blog - the race was back in October! With hindsight I still wasn't ready for such a challenge, but I wanted to give it a go and was excited about the prospect. I arrived in Utah with Meg as my support in a rental car - looking around most people had far more support - RVs, tents, tool racks, spares etc etc. There was my hint I wasnt as well prepared as I should have been. Maybe

Sorry the tweets and facebook updates didnt show on the website!!!! But yes the Roswell crew have had a wonderful day in Georgia and completed the century in approx 8 1/2 hours. Just waiting to hear from Paul that he too has finished in Colorado - where he not only had hills to contend with (ie mountains) but also temperatures of 28 degrees!!! So proud of him and his support as ever, Miriam

Disappointingly I found out that my Guinness World Record would not appear in print in the book after all - so I decided I had better go set another one! Having a look at some options there was one possible one that took my notice - riding across Australia from Perth to Sydney. This will be a difficult one to beat as it has been hard fought several times in recent years - the current one sets an

Just playing 'catch up' with my blogs!I was very pleased and honored to be invited to the Lupus Butterfly Gala in New York in recognition of my support for the Lupus Foundation. I flew to New York from Denver on the Monday to meet my mum who was also invited and we enjoyed dinner with Morgan that evening. I had first met Morgan when I completed my Guinness World record and it was good to catch up.

25 hour race starts today at 10 am local time - that's 4 pm UK time and 12 midday there in Roswell. Am still trying to get the SPOT up and running - will twitter if it works!

Ski season has started in Beaver Creek for me but I am taking a few day off to compete in the 25 hour race in Utah on Saturday. The clocks go back at the weekend so what better way to use that extra hour?? Its a 12.8 mile mountain bike lap and the aim is to do as many laps as possible during the longest day! I am really looking forward to the race and seeing how well I am able to stand up to such

That was a good race - very, very hard but great fun!! I kind of planned for the race but forgot about the other stuff like somewhere to sleep the night before so ended up sleeping on the floor in Ruth And Alice's room - not the best sleep and a little late in the morning running down to the start in Nairn.
