I don't do this fundraising thing very often. However, almost exactly a year ago my wife lost someone very close to her to Cancer. With this in mind I am participating in Premier Foods' Charity Challenge on Friday 9th September when I will be attempting to cycle 60 miles in aid of Cancer Research.

Previously more used to travelling as quick as possible over a mile or two, I'm swapping running spikes for a bike. On the 9th September, I'll be attempting to cycle 60 miles over the somewhat unforgiving terrain of the Brecon Beacons. I believe this is somewhere in Welsh Wales.

Apparently it's a bit hilly in that neck of the woods, and I have been advised that the Raleigh Grifter 3 gear Sturmey Archer might not quite cut the mustard. However, I'm looking forward to the challenge and I'd be very grateful if you are able to offer some support to this very worthwhile cause - however small.

Many thanks

Richard
