Along with 11 other riders I am going to attempt to ride the whole route of the Giro d'Italia 2023, two days ahead of the pros in the actual  race.

The whole gruelling experience will involve:

- Riding all 21 stages of the race

- 3,450 km total distance 

- 51,300 metres of climbing - the equivalent of sea level to Everest 6 times

The ride is raising money for The Toy Appeal, registered charity, #1179080, which provides sacks of toys at Christmas to children 2-17 years old living in poverty across the North West of England. All donations go to charity, the ride is self-funded.
