As part of the Heavy Metal Truants, I will be cycling the 164 miles from London to Donington to raise much needed funds for three great charities, with all proceeds being split equally between Nordoff Robbins, Teenage Cancer Trust and Childline. I will be joining Iron Maiden Manager Rod Smallwood and the Darklord himself, Alex Milas, as well as other Metal fans, band members, media, managers, agents, record labels and music industry heavyweights, all united by a love of heavy metal and a desire to raise money for worthy causes. The gruelling 3 day ride begins at Alexandra Palace on 7^th June and arrives lunchtime on 9^th June for the start of the magnificent Metal Weekend that is Download Festival. I do hope that you will support me generously:
