What will you be doing at 8am on Sunday 15th June? Reading the newspapers in bed? Enjoying a nice leisurely breakfast? Still sleeping blissfully?

Well, the same will not be true of some of your friends and colleagues. Whatever the weather, we will be mounting our saddles and setting off from Clapham Common on the London to Brighton Cycle Ride, heading fifty-four miles south towards the pebbled beaches.

We would also like to raise some money for the British Heart Foundation in the process, so if you are feeling generous please sponsor us below. What's more, if you are a UK taxpayer then an extra 28% of reclaimed tax will be added to your gift (at no further cost to you) just by ticking the box.

Many thanks for your support. We'll be thinking of you all as we fight our way up the biggest hill in the world* (Ditchling Beacon) after fifty miles.

*not officially measured as the biggest hill in the world, but it blooming well feels like it when you're cycling up.
