As a keen amateur cyclist and supporter of Hospitality Action this summers cycle ride from London to Paris seemed perfect. Doing something I enjoy whilst setting myself a major challenge at the same time!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">The challenging route of nearly 300 miles is considered to be one of the best cycling routes in Europe and goes through the heart of Tour de France country.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">We have a great team coming together from the industry including leading chefs and business leaders, some of whom are serious cyclists, others like me not so. All of us are though united in our commitment to complete the ride for the benefit of our industry charity.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 15pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">For me to ride nearly 300 in just 3 days will require serious focus and training between now and 29 June when we set off. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">Believe me when I say that for this great cause my mind, body and buttocks are seriously on the line!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">I am extremely grateful for all your support and can ensure you that your donation will make a difference!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">Thanks so much. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: #73645d; font-size: small; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #60514a;">Peter</span></p> </span></span></p>
