After breaking my pelvis training for this epic journey last year, I am determined that I will complete it 2nd time round. It’s taken 10 months of rehab and training to get ready for the ride. My colleague, Simon Keating stepped in to my place at the 11th hour last year and completed it. It’s for an amazing cause:

Club Peloton (clubpeloton.org) is the charity and real estate cycling community transforming the lives of young people. Since 2006, it has given £4.5 million in grants to projects that make a real difference. Cycle to MIPIM is Club Peloton's original endurance fundraising ride that brings together cyclists of all abilities to ride, network and fundraise. Every year, riders from across the property industry complete the 1,438km challenge from London to Cannes, arriving in time for MIPIM, the leading international real estate fair.
