"Not a natural athlete" ... is how my PE teachers consistently described me in school reports.  Despite this, I have decided to sign up to the Prince’s Trust Palace to Palace ride this Sunday. 

The ride is 90 miles long a starts before 7:00am.  I have never rode 90 miles nor got up earlier than 7 on a Sunday so this will be a real feat of physical endurance for me.  Hailing from Leicestershire, I am of course hoping to ‘do a Ranieri’ – achieve something which the laws of physics, biology and common sense would suggest is otherwise unachievable.

The ride is in aid of the Prince’s Trust.  Prince Charles is fundamentally a good bloke who tries to make the world a better place, so am hoping that you will dig in your pockets and help support – contributions of any size appreciated.
