I may be mad, but thanks to friends pursuading me and a desire to get fit, I'm tackling a 75 mile cycle ride with UK Cycling on 16th June. The route starts and ends in Calais, having first parked the car in Dover - the plan is to cycle off the ferry the other end and enjoy the scenery! Not quite sure when the booze cruise element starts though....................

I'm cycling for the Spinal Injuries Association, as my day job involves helping clients with their transport, many of whom have spinal injuries and disabilities that are supported by the charity. Their stories can be inspiring and by using my ability to cycle I want to raise as much money as I can for the charity. Training begun some months ago, and having reached a peak of 41 miles there's still a long way....and several hills ....to go.
