Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Three and a half years ago I took up road cycling, it's one of the best decisions I ever made. With my son having already undertaken this iconic ride,  I decided that it would be my turn in the year I turned 60....so here we are.....295miles to Paris in 4days!!

The next decision was which charity to support as there are so many. I decided on Nordoff-Robbins because I get so much joy from music and singing myself, it certainly lifts your spirits and makes you smile.  I am currently a member of Rock Choir who are supporting this charity at the moment, and when I checked out www.nordoff-robbins.org I was extremely moved by the stories of the individuals who are benefitting from the music therapy. Please take time to have a look yourself. 

I will definitely have to be serious about training for this event. I had a knee injury at the beginning of this year so have been off my bike for 10 weeks meaning I really will have to start seriously building up the distances. 70-80 miles in one day is ok, but for 4 days in a row, well that's a different matter! 

I am undertaking this ride with Global Adventure Challenge. I inspired 2 others Ann and Phil from my cycling group to accompany me. I am funding the cost of it myself so all money raised here will go to my charity.
