I like riding my bike and trying to do some wider good in the world.  For a week in March, I will be doing both on a  nine hundred mile bike ride from London to Cannes to allow Club Peloton to provide grants to Coram - a child adoption charity and one of the world’s oldest.

The ride goes to a property conference called MIPIM.  It is expertly run by Club Peloton.  I will be amongst 75 riders and supported by a crew including Tour de France motorcycle outriders who create a rolling road closure as we travel south through France.  This means we can cover big distances in a day - over 250km from dawn to well into the night over 7 days.

The ride is a relay but I plan to cycle to whole way.  Having seen the good coming from some friends adopting through Coram, I am excited to get out there and help raise some funds for this very special charity.
