Last year it was a "Man in a Van on Tour" round France, this year it's more "Pedal power than Petrol power" as we navigate from Paris to La Rochelle. As with any of these types of events a few too many beers at the right time with a hasty yes at the wrong time to move the conversation on, will now see myself and Andrew Niles expose ourselves to the mercy of French drivers, speed cameras, mozzie bites and saddle sores over 500km of gruelling terrain in 3.5 days. We will be joining the rest of the HSBC team from London but will be representing our Geneva office on the road.

Please feel free to offer any advice to get us through this physical and mental challenge in order to raise money for our chosen charity; Greenhouse Schools Project and any good road trip driving music for our ipods!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Greenhouse Schools Project gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us!!

thanks

Mark and Andy
