Last year I cycled approximately 80 miles for the British Heart Foundation - London to Brighton (off-road) with my friends. It's was very tough but I did it! My motivation was to support a great charity and also challenge myself.  I had a great team with my son Arjan helping me with my bike preparation, including pumping the tyres on my training rides - not bad at age 2!  This year I'm participating in a team ride with my work colleagues.  It's a 90 mile circuit and again Arjan is supporting me on to get me ready for 2nd October 2016.  I riding on my first road cycle so it's all new but at the same time should be a lot quicker than my original intention of using my mountain bike. I think it's really important to give young people opportunities in life - I certainly had some people showing a real interest in me which gave me a good start.  Unfortunately, not everyone is so fortunate so I think the princes trust is just one of the good ways to contribute.  When Arjan is a bit older I'm sure we'll ride together, Team Jutla here we come :).
