Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, and for your support.

On the 11th August 2024, along with Tom Mouse, I will be taking part in the World Championship Penny Farthing Hill Climb Time Trial at Eastbourne in the United Kingdom. My aim, as well as fundraising and actually completing the course, is to achieve a time of no more than twice that of the winner! In order to add further to this year's challenge, I will in the coming weeks also ride my penny farthing as far as I can in a single 12 hour period, across the wilds of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire!
