Update 27/09/2011: I DID IT!... took me 8 hours and one pretty epic fall but I managed to cross the line in Brighton. Thank you again for all that have sponsored me! Together with the rest of my team, thanks to you, we have managed to already raise an estimated £5000 and this is still going up! If you have not managed to sponsor yet, you are still more than welcome and have at least another month until the funds need to be in, so please dig deep :) ...We are already looking to do London to Paris Off Road next year - 200miles over 3days so I will keep you informed. THANK YOU!! Rob 

Update 19/09/2011: Thank you for all those that have already donated! You will be pleased to know I finally have a bike, after breaking a brand new one after a 100m ride I have managed to get hold of a decent one and pulled out a 14mile ride yesterday, not quite 75miles yet but on my way!... Please keep donating, it really is very much appreciated, thanks again... 5days to go!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you are aware I am soon going to be taking part in a 75 mile off road bike ride as part of a team of 19, from London to Brighton for the 50th Birthday of The British Heart Foundation. By soon I mean in two weeks! and therefore I need all your help to raise as much money as possible to donate to this excellent cause.

To help you get an idea of how big of a challenge this will be, which is quickly starting to sink in! I have been told a comfortable off road cycling speed is 10mph, therefore with out any breaks it will take me 7.5hrs sitting on a bike. This challenge will also be made even harder by the fact I am yet to get a bike and I haven't cycled properly since my paper round, I am hoping you really do never forget how to ride a bike!

Although it may sound as if I am unprepared, I have begun my training and I am determined to finish, if all goes well we are already looking into the London to Paris event next year! So please help me to reach my target and spare whatever you can and remember to tick the Gift Aid if you pay tax and are a UK resident so JustGiving can reclaim Gift Aid on your donation.

Thank you again!

Rob
