For the first time in my life I'm voluntarily putting myself through one whole exercise. I'll be cycling the 45 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh as part of Pedal for Scotland, and raising money for the Ayrshire Hospice whose staff were ABSOLUTELY BLOODY INCREDIBLE while looking after my dad in the final days of his life. 

Anyone who knew my dad will know he was the keenest of cyclists (they didn't call him Bruce the Baldy Biker for nothing) so it's only fitting that I have a go at this in his memory. Me and my fam miss him every single day - a bike run isn't going to resolve that but it CAN help the Hospice carry out their essential services and make sure they continue to bring comfort to patients and their families going through the toughest of times. Honestly, they are angels.

Any donations you can make will be very, very gratefully received.
