So im doing a 160 mile charity bike ride 12th-14th of June, from London to Castle Donington, with no doubt ending up wth a sore behind to boot!

We arrive on the opening day of the world famous DOWNLOAD festival. The heavy Metal Truants charity was set up by METAL HAMMER main man Alexander Milas & IRON MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood.

Riding alongside Alexander and Rod will be a host of musicians and members of the music industry, as well as myself. Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of IRON MAIDEN, Nick Holmes of PARADISE LOST, Paolo Gregoletto of TRIVIUM, along with members of THUNDER, TESSERACT, YOUNG GUNS & PENDULUM will all be taking part.

All proceeds will go to NORDOFF ROBBINS, TEENAGE CANCER TRUST & CHILDLINE, all worthy causes i think youll agree.

i would be forever greateful if you could donate, as little or as much as you possibly can, and help me reach my goal and beyond!
