All being well I shall celebrate my 70^th birthday in July of this year; I have been extremely lucky to have had a relatively disease and injury free passage to this stage of my life. 

I have set a challenge to raise funds for Bristol Children’s Hospital (The Grand Appeal) to help children who are considerably less fortunate than myself.

The challenge is for me to cycle 70 km a day for 70 consecutive days climbing a minimum of 70 km. I have set a start date of Saturday, 1^st July 2017 and all money raised will go directly to the appeal through this Just Giving page.

I shall be riding from from home every day using ten different routes that provide the distance and climbing needed to meet the challenge. That way I have the option to complete each route seven times which
helps to keep repetition to a minimum. It is very likely that Sunday club rides will also be included.

The routes will be posted on Ride with GPS and social media nearer the time so if anyone wants to ride all or some of the way, to provide moral support, they would be very welcome.

The ten routes are planned and with Garmin devices there is an option for others to be able to track progress. All rides will be automatically uploaded from the Garmin to Strava so there can be no cheating!

If you can, please donate.
