UPDATE - 2 July 2007

Many thanks for your generous donations.  The ride went well despite the pretty unpleasant weather conditions and I clocked in at 8 hours and 58 minutes. 

Thank you very much.

Dear all,

I am cycling the first stage of this year's Tour de France (fortunately a week before the pros).  If you would like to sponsor me, it would make me feel slightly better about wearing lycra for 120 miles. 

If anyone has a ready supply of EPO then I would be grateful for that as well.

The money goes to A Glimmer of Hope (www.aglimmerofhope.org) which is an innovative charity working in Ethiopia, the US and the UK.  A Glimmer of Hope is structured so that monies donated actually end up where they are needed - on the ground (not literally) and are not wasted on bureaucracy.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: A Glimmer Of Hope (Uk) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.

Ben
