Hi Everyone

It's that time of year again where I bring the lycra out of the wardrobe and do something I'm far too old to do to raise money for a worthy cause.

This year I'm joining some of my work colleagues on one of the legs of their London to Edinburgh cycle ride and riding 62 miles from Manchester to Lancaster. Sounds a bit tame but it's 2 years since my Highland biking challenge and I haven't been near a bike since and as you know I like my food a bit too much so my spare tyre is continuing to grow!

The charity we have chosen is called Crisis - a National homeless charity which helps people rebuild their lives through housing, education and employment services, who work with thousands of homeless people across the UK.

Thanks in anticipation of a donation. I'm extremely grateful and it will make the gruelling journey that much easier.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
