On the 4th August 2013 I'll be donning my lycra, with freshly shaved legs: except that particular weekend I'll be taking part in the largest charity fundraising event in the world - Ride London 100. This involves riding 100 miles around London and Surrey, starting in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and following a similar route to the one taken by the Olympic Road Race in 2012. In about 7 hours. No small feat. Especially when it's bound to be raining/hailing/snowing/all of the above.

I'm riding in aid of Population Matters. They're not one of the larger, more well known charities, but they have a simple, important vision which no one can, rationally, do anything but support. Their vision is for a global population size enabling decent living standards and environmental sustainability.

And thanks for supporting me in supporting them!
