POSTPONNED UNTILL 2023 to coincide with the year of my 70th Birthday

To be honest I cycle because I love it but....

I entered a sponsored even in aid of Parkinson's UK in 2019 which was cancelled. I entered the event because my Mum has been diagnosed with Parkinson's and I see the effect on her and more importantly how brave and determined she is. I now know where I get my bloody mindedness from and why if I say I will finish a bike ride or get up a hill on my bike without walking I do.

MY INTENTION IS TO 'EVEREST' or TO REPEATEDLY RIDE UP A CLIMB THEN DOWN THE SAME WAY THEN REPEAT WITHOUT GETTING ANY RUN UP AT THE BOTTOM, IN ONE GO WITHOUT SLEEP.

I have chosen Askwith Hill 1.33 miles long 453 feet of climbing at an average gradient of 6.5%. To do 29,029 feet (Height of Everest) I need to do the climb 65 times or 172 miles. I have no idea if I am capable of doing this either physically or mentally which is why I have chosen this challenge for my sponsored ride. I am not asking to be sponsored for doing something I enjoy I am asking to be sponsored for doing something that will test me to the limit in preparation and during the ride.
