Story

As some of you know I am planning a bike trip later this year from London to Athens. It has been something I have been dreaming about for along time and finally I have taken the plunge.
 

From London to Paris I have organised for 20 other cyclists to join in on the fun and to help raise money for a great cause.
My plan is to raise £25,000 with the help of the other cyclists and of course you.

 
The trip will start on the 22nd of July and I will arrive in Athens sometime in mid September. I will cover a distance of approx 3,500 kilometres.
 

We all have ability. The difference is how we use it. Stevie Wonder

 
To find out more about this trip and to follow my blog during the trip go to www.25000spins.com
 

Those of you who donate more than £50 will be sent a free dvd of the trip which is being filmed by focusup media.
 

Thanks for your support.
