Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I was going to do this ride last year for my 65th birthday but COVID put paid to that .So a year later,a year older and a year more decrepid I am going to go for it before I'm too old [I probably am already!!]
I am cheating a bit as using an electric bicycle but at approx 80 miles per day target you still know you have done everyone of those miles; esp the bottom!!

SASH, the charity, are awesome and help youngsters to avoid going into the dangerous system of hostels and we have raised money for them before. This, I suspect, is my last gasp attempt at raising serious sums so any help from literally £1 to £1 million pounds [I don't expect that sum from anyone!] will be very welcome as every penny helps them given the tough times charities have had over the past couple of years
I will blog this ride daily on STRAVA/FACEBOOK if anyone is interested to follow this and have a start date of SEPTEMBER with a target to finish in 2 weeks
Many thanks for any help you feel able to give
UPDATE
I have been training in Majorca for two weeks on some very big hills.It’s going to be tough doing 90 miles a day and depending on Covid may have to cycle through Spain instead which means even bigger hills but nothing ventured!
UPDATE
ROUTE CHANGE ..For logistical reasons now decided to follow the Camino de El Cid through Spain from Valencia to Santander
Slightly shorter but more mountainous!! Pretty remote and v historic
