Thanks for vising my page. I'll be cycling 103 miles between 1-9 September to raise funds for Macmillan. Part of this will be a 25 mile route on 9 Sept (it may not sound like much, but that's the most I've ever done in one go) along with 10 miles cycled earlier and later that day. For 6 other days, I'll be cycling 10 miles per day. And I'll fit in a 5 mile route over the weekend. I also managed to squeeze in 3 extra miles over the week, which took my total from 100 miles to 103 miles! My workplace Boots will be contributing as well.
Thanks for your support!

So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.'
I'm dragging a buddy along for the cycle every day as well.
Buddy for Day 1: Trojan
His favourite colour is green. He likes long walks and eating flies. And though his last few girlfriends have filed injunctions, he hopes that doesn't put you off.
Buddy for Day 2: Catticus
He is slowly draining the life from your body. You just don't know it yet. Just relax...
Buddy for the Weekend (Days 3 & 4): Cow
She's come along for the ride as she enjoys feeling her udders flapping in the breeze. And she thinks she's going to be paid. Don't tell her it's for charity until it's all over.
Buddy for Day 5: The Squid
Simply known as The Squid, he takes care of business and doesn't suffer fools gladly. He's come along for the ride to do the cycle rage for me.
Buddy for Day 6: Chippy
I've had this elephant since I was 1. It was time for him to see the world again after a long prison sentence in the confines of my room.
Buddy for Day 7: Sparky
I've had him since I was 2, so we've known each other for a while. He was on his mobile for the entire route though, even though he knows I find that annoying. Surprised he didn't end up in the canal!
Buddy for Day 8: Angry Orange
He thinks I'm an awful cyclist and spent the entire ride complaining. I don't think it helped that I ate his little ones for lunch. He's next.
Buddy for Day 9: Gideon
He's shown his support by shaving all his hair off and doing this cycle ride completely naked. Please donate so he'll put some clothes on!
