Hi, I'm Ryan - A placement student in Wales. I have accepted the offer of a life time, to cycle 850 mile accross North Vietnam for a brilliant charity. I'm a late starter to this event so i need all the help i can get to raise the £3000. Heres a little info about the trip:

Cycle a Difference is the challenge of a lifetime cycling adventure across northwest and central Vietnam in May 2013. Sponsorship from the ride will support UK led nurse training and life saving equipment.

The ride begins in Lao Cai close to the Vietnam boarder with China, with four exhilarating days in the mountains, and ventures onto the historic Ho Chi Minh trail before heading for the famed Hai Van pass. Cycle a Difference is more than a bike trip – it is an inspiring journey with like-minded people who are united by their passion for cycling and making a difference in life.
