Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In lieu of a leisurely relaxing cycle through France and Spain this year, I am cycling around the whole of the UK and Ireland over a two week period in aid of Dogs Trust.  

Starting from home (just down from London) on 17 September, I will visit London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff and then back to London (and home) for a finish on 1 October.

If you have ever wondered what it would feel like to be a bald, slightly overweight, arthritic man cycling for 14 days straight, staying in the cheapest hotels and surviving on sweets, cake and takeaways, then you are in luck as I will be posting a daily blog which you can access here (you will have to cut-and-paste as I cannot figure out how to add hyperlink):

The Dogs Trust are a worthy cause and this cycle will not be like wearing a jumper, growing a moustache or baking a cake, it will involve around 1,100 miles of cycling (the equivalent distance of cycling from London to Rome).
