Story
Join Neil Tomlinson, proud father of Bessie and Vice Chair of Deloitte, as he embarks on an extraordinary journey. In his late 50s, Neil is not your average cyclist. A former judo player turned cycling enthusiast, he's gathering fellow former sportsmen for a challenging ride from London to Paris. Covering nearly 500km in just three days, from June 13th to 15th, this organized event is no easy feat, especially at his age.
Starting from Imber Court in London, the route takes them through picturesque landscapes, from Folkestone to Calais, then onto Amiens, and finally culminating at the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris. But Neil's ride isn't just about personal achievement; it's a mission to support his club's legacy. With the Paris Olympics on the horizon and the club celebrating its 150th anniversary, Neil aims to raise funds for the much-needed refurbishment of the clubhouse.
Calling on fellow club members and supporters, Neil seeks sponsorship, suggesting a contribution of £10 from each. Despite facing challenges like a thigh strain, Neil is committed to his training regime and will keep everyone updated through regular blogs. Join Neil T on this epic journey, where every pedal stroke brings him closer to his goal of rebuilding and revitalizing the clubhouse. Because as he knows, riding a bike isn't always as easy as it seems.
Thank you for your support in advance.
