David Lee, Matt Wilkinson and I have decided to take part in the Velo Birmingham to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

As a trio of novice riders, we will be cycling 100 miles covering over 7,100ft of climbing in the process. This will be a very challenging course for us. If you donate, please be assured that you will get your money's worth in our pain and suffering.

To put this into context, just imagine three novice cyclists who have a deeply inappropriate penchant for lycra, sweating away in lots of pain and quietly sobbing to themselves, whilst trying to continue to pedal and reassure themselves that they won't need the use of their backsides, testes or legs for the next three months anyway. That will be us. #cancelthevasectomy #dontneedthemanyway
