Firstly I would like to say thank you to the cycling team for letting me join them on this cycle challenge.
I am 43 years old, I live in St.Albans I am married to Jane and have 2 children, Charlotte (Chaz) 19 and Aidan 5.
Cancer has affected my family, friends and work colleagues, some of whom are still battling with this disease so when I found out about the UK's longest bike ride I thought this was a great way to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and embark on a personal challenge.
I would like to say to everyone, Please, Please, Please dig deep into your pockets and donate to this very good cause.
Well I must go and dust off my 1970's Raleigh Grifter and hit the road.
Many thanks for your support.
