Both my parents served in the armed forces during the Second World War and my father continued as a professional soldier until 1969. As a child and young adolecent my life was one of moving from place to place and learning about the world. I loved the life, but I was also aware of the sacrifices that my parents made so that the job could be done!

After the death of my father, I also know something of the marvelous work that The Royal British Legion do to help both service men and women and their families.

So, now as a semi retired an old army brat I have the time to support them!

I rode last year for the first time and even with thorough preparation it was hard: My bike was heavy, I had a chest infection and the hills were so very hard!

The help and support from fellow cyclists and the support team was inspirational and as you can see from the picture, I finished the ride, raising £1,600 pounds.

So I must ride again....

I have bought a lighter bike and have even started riding with my feet clamped to the pedals - very scary!

I am in training again, well I never really stopped. I have trained through the winter months and am increasing the hours to challenging myself.

All I need now is your support - Please help me reach my target, The Royal British Legion do such a very good job and the work that they do is needed as much as ever
