<p>Hi,</p> <p>In 2011 I'm taking part in a number of cycling events. Rather than take sponsorship for each event I've lumped them all together into one sponsorship page in support of <strong>UK Youth</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>10-APR: Rapha Hell of The North</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Complete</strong></span> (<a href="http://connect.garmin.com/activity/78330107">http://connect.garmin.com/activity/78330107</a>)<a href="http://www.rapha.cc/hell-of-the-north-2">http://www.rapha.cc/hell-of-the-north-2</a><br />A 100km/62mi ride out of North London featuring 20 grav&eacute; sectors.</p> <p><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>22-MAY: Pearson 150 Sportive</strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Complete </span></strong>(<a href="http://connect.garmin.com/activity/87373436">http://connect.garmin.com/activity/87373436</a>)</p> <p><a href="http://www.cyclosport.org/eventdetails.aspx?eventid=2328">http://www.cyclosport.org/eventdetails.aspx?eventid=2328</a><br />The Pearson 150 (150km/93mi) route will take you south through the lanes of Surrey and Sussex, taking in the climbs of the North and South downs, followed by a swift descent to the half way marker at Brighton. There you can take in the sea air and refuel. The second half of the route will take you north again, riding through exquisite undulating scenery to the finish. Timing chips will be clocked in and results instantly available.</p> <p><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>23-JUN to 25-JUN: London to Paris 2011 - <span style="color: #008000;">Confirmed Entry</span></strong></span><br /><a href="http://www.londres-paris.com/">http://www.londres-paris.com/</a></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Complete:</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://connect.garmin.com/activity/94866406">http://connect.garmin.com/activity/94866406</a></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">http://connect.garmin.com/activity/94866816</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">http://connect.garmin.com/activity/94867432</span></span></p> <p>The London-Paris is recognised as one of the world&rsquo;s most exciting cyclosportives and is the closest the amateur rider can get to the Tour de France experience. The event is distinguished by having motorbike outriders, rolling road closures and professional logistical back up along the 520km/323mi route, from Hampton Court to The Eiffel Tower. In Paris, The L2P is one of only two events granted road closures in the centre of the French capital - the other is the Tour de France.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>September</strong></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>: 3 Peaks Cyclo-Cross - <span style="color: #ff9900;">Entered (pending confirmation)</span></strong></span><br /><a href="http://www.3peakscyclocross.org.uk/course_details.htm">http://www.3peakscyclocross.org.uk/course_details.htm</a><br />61kms (38 miles)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
