I guess I'm unusual in many ways, but not learning to ride a bike as a kid often gets several "really???" questions when I mention it. To date, I've not managed to rectify the situation, and still consider myself "unable to ride". So why have I entered a bike ride?

I heard about The Prince's Trust Palace to Palace bike ride, and thought it sounded like a good excuse to conquer my fears and learn to ride a bike. However, I didn't have the guts to actually do anything about it. Foolishly I mentioned this half-baked ambition to Ian, who promptly twisted my arm and made me sign up. Three months to go and I still can't ride a bike!

So, please sponsor me, and force me to get out there and get a little more proficient at riding. It's for a fab cause too.

Thanks

Helen
