It's back!.
It's taken a while to come around again with the whole pandemic.
I'm older and need to train harder for this one than before. It's not my first ride at a distance, but it's bigger, tougher a whole 150 miles bigger and with more of a reason than ever before!
I'm not a natural cyclist so it hurts every time. I like pies and cakes, so have to work hard to make it happen.
The reason i'm doing this is to support RL Cares. The charity reach out to current and former RL players and there families to support them through tough times. Recently with the tragic loss of Natalie Harrowell, England international and a hero of mine Rob Burrow, eight times Grand final winner for Leeds Rhinos diagnosed with MND. They provide the support in times of need.
In June 2022 a team of 20, including former RL stars we will be Cycling 530 miles from Niagra Falls to Brooklyn Bridge in New York. 6 days in the saddle. My previous furthest has been 380miles, so it's going to hurt.
Not only is there a chance the 530 miles will kill me, there's added risk of been eaten by bears. So please all donate as generously as possible.
P.S. just so you know, this won't be a holiday! It's a going to physically and mentally tough. I'm not getting any younger, so every morning will break me. Added to the fact I'll be paying all my own expenses. So every bit will go direct to the charity.
Many thanks for your continued support.
