In late July, alongside several hundred police officers and staff from across the UK, I'll be riding close to 200 miles over two days from London to the Police Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, as part of the UK Police Unity Tour.
The Police Unity Tour is a bike tour to mark the lives of police officers who have sadly passed away while in service. The tour raises money for Care of Police Survivors (COPS) which looks after the families of those who have lost a loved one in the police service.
To date, my longest ride has been 50 miles, and that was some years ago. But I have a new bike, a clean bill of health and I am committed to riding this event. Training begins in earnest next week, go on sponsor me, it's very motivating!
