The Countrywide Great Tour is a brand new epic cycling event and Britain’s ultimate cycling challenge – a 6,800 kilometre ride, over 64 consecutive days around the coastline of Britain, starting on the 4th July and finishing on the 5th September 2015. Now, I’m not silly enough to take part in the entire Tour, but I will be peddling my socks off to cover 106km from Southampton to Poole on the 14^th August with several colleagues, all of which are just as mad!

I’d love for you to show your support for my chosen charity - Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research whose who is preventing more people dying of blood cancer, as well as improving the lives of patients with blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma to help them live their life to the full.
