In June 2022 I’ll be competing in one of the UK’s toughest cycling sportive - the Dragon Ride!

What’s that? “Only one sport?!” I hear you say! That’s right, I’ve ditched the wetsuit and trainers for this one it’s all about the bike and of course MacMillan Cancer support.

I saw this event on a whim and decide to enter the ballot for a place, secretly hoping I wouldn’t get one. Make no mistake - this is one of the hardest rides out there.

210km (125 miles) distance and over 3000m (9800ft) of climbing, it’s going to be one tough day out in the saddle. For reference, the elevation gain is the same as cycling up Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike all in one go!

So I thought this would be a great opportunity to raise some money for a wonderful cause. Unfortunately, many people reading this will have been impacted by cancer in some way and MacMillan do a great job in guiding all of us through the difficult times.
