Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am trying to raise hugely needed funds for an amazing charity - Space4Autism.

My 11 year old son is Autistic so I know first hand how much charities like Space4Autism can help - not just children and adults on the ASD spectrum but their families as well.

To raise funds I am taking myself completely out of my comfort zone (again) - this time it's distance related (unfortunately with some uphill included!) 🚵

I am planning a fully self funded, self supported bike ride from Macclesfield to Belgium and back, covering ~1000km or 621 miles in 7 days (with a rest day in the middle!) 😊

Day 1 is Macclesfield to Hull over a lumpy Peak District through Sheffield, Doncaster and Scunthorpe before heading over the Humber Bridge and turning right to the Ferry Terminal.

After an overnight ferry we head across the Dutch coast to Northern Belgium (day 2) before heading south into central Belgium (day 3).

Day 4 is a challenging ~200km ride around the cobbles of Belgium before a days rest (day 5)

We then retrace our steps ..pedal turns.... back to a (hopefully) sunny Macclesfield 🌞 (days 6, 7 and 8).

I am still very much a MAMIL and definitely not built like your typical cyclist so carrying me and all my kit (don't forget the toothbrush!) is going to hugely challenging!

To help - any sponsorship you can spare to support this awesome charity that does so much for ASD children, adults and their families would be amazing! 😊

Thanks a million 🙏
