Since Jan, I've been spinning 3 times a week and going to the gym 5 days a week to prepare, specifically, for this event.

This year my mum lost her younger sister to cancer, so I am riding in her memory - and I would really appreciate your donation.

Finally, please be aware that Julie and I have paid for the trip costs ourselves - so any money raised will go directly to the charity - and not pay for our ferry, hotel and food costs.

Both Julie and I are cycling for different charities, so please also visit her giving page and help her raise money for underprivileged children.

Thanks so much - Remy.
