I started cycling properly just before the pandemic, I re-engaged with cycling inspired by the Palace to Palace ride.

This is probably the most challenging thing I have ever tried to do, a number of people expressed some surprise when I announced this last week.

Anyway I'm committed, I will ride the length of Great Britain 980 mile, this is not only going to mean cycling every day over 100 miles, includes the equivalent elevation of going up Mount Everest twice !

I'm not sure why this didn't put me off but I've been told it is one of the most physically challenging & mentally challenging activities that many people have accomplished in their life.

Why am I doing this?

I've worked with the Princes Trust over the past 23 years, in my early life I had a number of people that believed in me & gave me a chance. That is what the Princes Trust do

The Prince’s Trust believes that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter what their background or the challenges they are facing. We help those from disadvantaged communities and those facing the greatest adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.
