It is snowing in Pollicott today so we decided the best thing to do was leave our bikes in the garage, don some suitably Macmillan green gear and get exercising in the snow.
Click on the play button below to see the exercise routine we Pollicott Belles have created in the interest of keeping fit for cycling.
Pollicott Belles Snow Cycle Training Routine
It has been almost three years since the Belles set a challenge. We haven't stopped, we simply need to re-set and re-focus and find time to get ourselves back in the zone.

We recieved an e-mail from Macmillan Cancer Support today - it said:
Hi
Thank you for supporting Macmillan Cancer Support. Your support really will help to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
How your donations will help:
There are over 2 million people living with cancer in the UK, but we are currently only able to reach half of them. It’s our ambition to reach everyone living with cancer and we can only do this with the help of people like you. In fact, we rely on voluntary donations for 99% of our income, so we really do appreciate your support.
Gifts like yours mean that we will be able to provide not only medical, but practical, emotional and financial support as well as information to people living with cancer, their carers and fami! lies. And we’ll also make sure that we listen to people with experience of cancer and work together with them to improve cancer care.
You can find out more about the impact our supporters have on the lives of people living with cancer by visiting our website www.macmillan.org.uk. There you’ll discover the many ways in which we use donations to provide essential support and information.
We're here - Your views are important to us. So whether you want to comment on campaigns, would like to know more about our fundraising events or even access to our services, please do get in touch.
Thank you for your support.
With best wishes,
Amanda Bringans

Proud to Be Macmillan
Yesterday we wore our Macmillan Cancer Care T-Shirts with pride as we took a short training trip up and down Pollicott. All agreed that green is a great colour and this is cycle wear to be seen in.
Our learning to cycle expert, Alex, experienced her first gear change, managed a very slick turn at the top of Pollicott (thank goodness no cars turned into the lane) and kept her place in the line up as we cruised back down the road.

What to wear when cycling - part 2
We found this advice on a website that claims to be about cycling for fun. Well now we know what to do with bananas! You will need sound to view this video in all it's glory.
We certainly now have all the advise needed to kit ourselves up appropriately.
