I'm cycling along with 30 others from London to Paris (some 300 miles) in memory of my good friend Fi who died this March after battling cancer for 6 months.  

Fi was incredibly brave through-out her illness, always hoping there would be a cure.  She had secondary lung cancer from an unidentified primary ("CUP").  Fi's type of cancer kills as many people as breast cancer in any given year but is relatively unheard of.   I want to raise as much money as possible in her memory.

As I cycled from London to Paris 4 years ago, I have a fair idea of what I'm letting myself in for although the distance is about 40 miles more this time.   I've got my new bike (with cleats no less) which I have just about got used to (only forgotten my feet are attached to it twice...).  My torn ligament ankle is also on the mend.  So a few more long training rides under my belt (60 miles at the weekend not quite cutting the average 100 miles a day) and I should be good to go!

Please give generously as cancer sadly affects everyone, making it a very worthy cause indeed.

Thanks for reading.
