Why are we doing this again? Quite a number of us don't actually know. The collective pain stayed with us for weeks after the 2016 event.

What we do know is that Team AT&T made a world of difference to the work of The Prince's Trust. That's a good enough reason for our 2016 cyclists to get back in the saddle - and for our new riders in 2017 to join the cause.

We will see y'awl in Windsor!
