I am doing this challenge as I haven't ridden on my bike 'properly' for years. As soon as Steve (Craddock) launched his big sell at me at the Kent Sport Gala dinner in 2016 - I promised I would do this for the these two excellent charities:

Help for Heroes & Kent Sports Trust

I have just bought my new bike (Del Trotter) - been out on it twice and fell off. Love it.

I am so excited - but equally worried about my bottom...

I am very grateful that local independent (Traders) business 'Vapeology' in Ashford has agreed to sponsor my kit too! I am sure they are doing it to make me look like a complete plonker...

But hey - I love a challenge for great cause or two!

I am always up for a giggle ...210 miles of hot, hilly, hot, hot, dry, argh over 3 days - laughter all the way!
