Once again I will be donning the lycra and hitting the road with my fellow Heavy Metal Truants in order to raise money for 3 very worthy charities; Nordoff Robbins, Childline and Teenage Cancer Trust. Over the course of 3 days I will cycle 171 miles through gruelling hills, punishing terrain and possibly downwind of Jerry Ewing!

Please dig deep and donate anything you can spare. Every penny helps and goes to a fantastic cause. Many thanks.
