On the 1st of May 2017, over a few too many beers, myself and Nath decided that we both needed a challenge. After long debate we finally settled on cycling to Paris; despite either of us ever owning a road bike! Now the route is planned, the training has started and the date has been set. On the 28th of July we will both set off from Parliament Square and race toward Paris with the aim of completing the 156 mile route in less than 24 hours.

We will be cycling for A Gift To Lift and hope to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity. Please check out their website www.agifttolift.com. This is a local charity supporting children and young adults suffering from the effects of blood cancer.

Please give generously over the next two months as we both swap the pints for pedalling and if you see us struggling up a hill please give us a push.
