Unfortunately for SSAFA Victoria Pendleton was busy so instead I'm joining the team of 8 cyclists from Fujitsu taking on the SSAFA Ride of Britain challenge.

Its a 5 day event where we each cycle the 500 miles from Edinburgh to London to raise £10,400 in total, so we have a great challenge ahead.

Please help contribute to this worthwhile cause by donating via this Team Fujitsu JustGiving site, the proceeds of which will contribute towards each team member’s individual £1,300 target.
