My story

 

Sponsored Bike Ride - Hyde Park Corner to Yatton Keynell - 14th June 2009

The milestone says 97 miles to Hyde Park Corner but we're doing it the wrong way round, so we start in London, cycle through Reading, Newbury, Hungerford, Marlborough, Calne & then on to YK.This is a low key village organised ride, so in addition to cycling at least 87 miles more than I've ever cycled before - I'll have to mend my own punctures!

Why, my younger, fitter, ex-army type Brother goaded me into accepting the challenge! With only 6 weeks to go, I haven't yet started training and he's already done a 50 mile ride - I'll try to cycle a mile in training for every £1, raised in sponsorship.

The ride is a great opportunity to raise some money for a charity that some years ago offered real help to us after my brother in law suffered a very serious head injury. For more information about Headway visit. www.headway.org.uk

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Headway Bristol Brain Injury Association Limited gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now! - if you want some personal enjoyment from the event, visit my office on Monday 15th June to witness 'Ian tries to walk' or 'Ian tries the stairs' Thanks for your support.
