Hello. I am not one of these cyclists who go out at the weekend and do 50 miles as if it's nothing. At best I cycle to work a couple of times a week. Therefore, this is a massive challenge for me to do! I am nervous! 

I will be cycling the first stage of the Tour de France the day before the actual Tour de France starts. It is 190km!!!!(118 miles). To give you an idea, as I write this the most I have ever cycled in a day is 46 miles. 

I will be riding for Macmillan Cancer Support. This is a fantastic cause and any donation that you see fit to give is very much appreciated and important to the work they do. All your donation goes straight to them. 

My sincere thanks to you for donating (if you do).
