Hello all! Anyone who has spoken to me for longer than about 3 seconds will know that I really like cycling. It's time to take things up a gear...

On 29th May, I’ll be cycling 100 miles from central London to Essex - and back - in aid of Health Action Leicester for Ethiopia (HALE). Ride London will be my longest ride to date, and I’m excited to be doing it for such a great cause. By supporting teaching programmes in Ethiopian hospitals, HALE helps us move closer to a world where healthcare is available to all. 

My training has seen me riding the Leicestershire lanes, sweating it out in my garage, and taking to the trails on foot. As my Strava followers will know, I've lost count of how many times I've fallen over... This hasn't dissuaded me just yet!
