Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a big music fan, guitarist, and a newly hooked cyclist I thought this would be a good theme for a challenge I'm setting myself to raise money for charities that mean a lot personally, having lost family members to cancer and dementia, and also have friends who have been affected by cancer and dementia.

I was lucky enough to get a ticket again for the greatest music festival on the planet Glastonbury!  I plan to raise money between now and the start of the festival at the end of June when by attempting to cycle 2,000 miles. This in itself is achievement as I've only really discovered cycling as a hobby recently, and we have yet to get to the real winter conditions. Nevertheless I hope this will help me lose weight and get me fit for the relentless walking at the festival. 

Thanks to my family and friends for their support particularly wife Denise who understands my time out cycling, and let me get tickets to GLASTO despite it clashing with a special anniversary.

I will update my weekly progress on this page  and you can see my GPS ride data by searching for my name on www.strava.com under Andrew Langley (Caerphilly).
