On Friday 17th May I will be joining a group of colleagues to cycle from the British Embassy in Paris to the FCO in London.  And, before you ask,  yes, I will be doing this on the little bike pictured here!

I loved cycling as a child and at University and a few years back started cycle and train commuting to work. As a youngster, I used to cycle round our local area  - The Dengie   Hundred - with my parents giving me a huge amount of freedom at an early age, which sadly today I have more difficulty imagining allowing my own kids.  However, we now cycle as a family and have been on cycle touring holidays in France, pedalling with all our camping gear.  Cycling is good for you, good for the environment, a cheap way to have an adventure and above all FUN.   Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Cycling was a big part of my childhood and I love the idea that this event will help raise funds for children today.
