Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Sadly Nigel (my Dad) passed away on 19^th July following several years of suffering from Parkinson’s disease and dementia, the sad demise of a very talented architect and father.

I have committed to cycling from Paris to Brest and
back in 4 days to raise money for Parkinson’s UK, the Parkinson's charity that drives better care, treatments and quality of life for sufferers.

I have previously undertaken several long distance cycle rides
including London-Edinburgh-London (900 miles), however Paris-Brest-Paris (750 miles) is the hardest yet.

Paris-Brest-Paris is the world's longest standing cycling event, and takes place every four years. I won't be on my own, as starting on Sunday 18th August over 6,000 cyclists from around the world try to complete the route in 90 hours. I will need to ride all day and much of the night to complete the course - obviously it all depends on how fast I can pedal!The distance is roughly the same as Dover to John O’Groats, so 90 hours really is a challenge. If you like the idea of this ride, then your next opportunity is in 2023.

I have been training hard for this event, and had to complete various rides to qualify for a place, if you would like to see where I am try this for Team Dulwich Paragon:
