Hi Guys.

I like a challenge and I like cycling, so I thought why not combine the two and raise money for charity! In the very early hours of September 6th I will be leaving the Manchester Velodrome, riding down the spine of the country through the Peak District, Midlands and the Chilterns before finishing 220 miles later at London’s Olympic Velodrome. This is without doubt the hardest bike ride I've ever done.

The Charity

Ambitious About Autism is the national charity for children and young people with autism. They do amazing work to enable children with autism to not only learn but also thrive, as well as increase awareness and understanding about autism. Their ambition is to make the ordinary possible for more children and young people with autism. You can see more about some of the myths around autism by clicking on the link below:

Training

The furthest I have cycled is 102 miles and that nearly broke me! So, whilst most of you are enjoying your Sunday mornings in bed, I've been up at the crack of dawn, pedalling the streets of London, Surrey, Kent, Cheshire and the Peak District, training for the big day. Its going well, but I know I've still got to put in a lot more mileage before the ride. 

Support

If you can spare any money at all in sponsorship it would be very much appreciated. Or if you are living in London, then a few friendly faces at the velodrome would mean a lot to me.

Thanks for all your support
