My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Okay. This time the gloves are off and the cleats are on. I’ve abandoned the butcher’s bike and invested in some shiny new wheels. Not promising to be any faster than last year but it should look better in the photos!

Life Cycle 2 is shaping up nicely. A more scenic route, a few more hills and a strong team of riders with an excellent support crew lined up. The main challenge is going to come from the unpredictable Atlantic weather as we zigzag down the west coast. My Homebase wellies will be close to hand…

Life Cycle 1 was unknown territory for us but the team raised a stunning £229k to support palliative care. It’s terrific to know that work is now underway with the funding we raised to provide people with comfort and dignity at the end of their lives.

LC2 picks up a wholly different challenge. It will help those from economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds to access higher education. This isn’t just important for individuals – it’s also critical to develop our society. I know that we can do better this time. Please help if you can.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

We're back in the zone - eat, ride, eat, sleep, eat ride.....priceless! The last big hill is behind us and the East Riding beckons. It won't be long now. Discussions already concerning LC3. As long as it doesn't go through Settle....

Hmm. 2 days of Highland weather in a row. Almost needed lifejackets yesterday en route to Loch Fyne and then threatened by landslips on Rest and be Thankful. Actually the climb wan't too bad. Good to cross the Clyde Estuary into the Lowlands. And then we turned into the wind....

A cracking first day. Sun, seals and stunning views over the Cape Wrath peninsula. Changed to road bikes and a fast ride down the stunning Sutherland coast. Dropped anchor in Inchnadamph - 好地方! Happy riders :-)

Good luck. The midgies will act as an extra incentive to keep peddling fast (or as an unexpected protein snack).
