This challenge would probably appeal to a keen and regular cyclist but I do not own a bike (yet!) and have not ridden once since I was a school boy! I have mentioned this to a few people and the general reaction is wincing and then offering advice on purchasing very expensive padded shorts and to get training!  I decided to undertake the challenge of riding to Paris in 3 days to raise as much money as I can for the charity "Help for Heroes".  It's a cause I believe in and thank you for your support.  It is really appreciated.
