My story

 

Update 17th August 2009

Thank you so much to all those who've given so generously in sponsoring us for this event. You'll be

delighted to know we completed the ordeal, sorry I mean challenge, at 5am French time on Sunday morning. The more observant among you will spot that's not 24 hours, so I'd like to draw attention to my faulty keyboard, which was registering 4's, when pressing the 9 key. Ha ha...hmmmm

I'll update the site with photos and bore you with further details on request!

Best

Mike

Hello generous people!

Myself and my esteemed colleague Kristian Davies have decided it'll be a great idea to attempt to cycle from London to Paris in just 24 hours on August 15th. This Friday night at the stroke of midnight we set off from Trafalgar Square and tackle the 75 miles to Dover for the 5.55am ferry, then from Calais to Paris it's just another 180miles. The idea is to be at the Arch de Triomphe by midnight the same day. Easy.

In recognition of our insanity, we'd appreciate it if you give generously to the Myelin Project - a charity doing great work for multiple sclerosis research, a cause particularly close to my heart.

Thanks for whatever you can contribute - it all makes a difference!

Cheers,

Mike and Kristian
