Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those of you who cycle regularly, my 25 miles sounds paltry - but it is the furthest I have ever cycled in one go, and that was some years ago. Having recently retired, I am trying to get fit, having no excuse now of not having the time, and this ride is part of the plan. So I have been getting back into cycling over the summer in preparation.

I am keen to support this charity, as cancer research is something many of us will be grateful for at some stage of our lives, and the fact that all the money raised will help our own Nottingham University with its research, adds to the appeal.

....... And maybe next year, I'll go for the 50 miles!
