I am raising money for the air ambulance as a 'Thank You' after they came to our aid after my wife had a horse riding accident. I always said that I do something to help in return, and now is the time!

 

On 30th August I will ride the length of the South Downs Way from the Winchester to Eastbourne, and then turn around and ride straight back. That is a total of 200 miles off road, and over 25,000ft of climbing in (hopefully) around 18 hours.

 

I will ride unsupported, and so will carry all my food with me and top up my bottles from taps along the route, and have to fix any mechanical problems myself.

 

I will leave Winchester at 3am on Friday 30th August and, so long as I don't get lost and my legs don't fall apart, hope to arrive back at King Alfred's statue around 9pm.

 

Thank you very much for your donation!
