Story

Thank you for visiting my charity website.

As you may or may not know, 12 months ago I would have laughed if someone said I will be cycing for nigh on 300 miles from London to Paris in June.  Even now it is hard to believe as I am not the fittest bloke in the world, I like my food, and my stomach loves being full!

So when the opportunity came to cycle for charity came up, I was immediately excited about it as its something that is doable and not impossible.  The fact that its for the Samaritans is even more of a push to do the challenge as its such a worth cause.

I shall endeavour to keep you updated via a myspace website about progress of training, and hopefully take some pictures of the jaunt.
