On Aug. 4th, I'll be cycling 100 miles on the 2012 Olympic Road Race route with about 25,000 (yes, really!) other cyclists in the Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100 Mile Sportive a few hours before the world's top professional riders race on a very similar circuit. I will be part of a team raising money for The Salvation Army (#TeamSally). In my case, I'll be riding for their mission in Rhyl, N. Wales, which is led by a musician friend of mine, Major Chris Davidson. I will be looking to complete the ride in between 6hrs-6hrs30, which for an amateur rider of my "profile" would be good going. Any donations would be very gratefully received. God bless. 🙏😇🚴‍♂️
