In May 2022, 4 MAMILs will set off from London (Steve's house in Thames Ditton) with a dream of cycling to the sunny shores of Barcelona in just 8 days.

Powered only by tight lycra, croissants and dreadful humour the team will be cracking 100 miles a day, including several fairly sizeable hills, whilst praying every night for a northerly wind!

Whilst we expect this trip to be doused with a significant amount of humour, there is also a serious side to the story. We're utterly privileged to be able to use sport, with friends, as a medium for maintaining mental fitness on a weekly basis. However, we're the fortunate ones who have this ready made supportive community and we're very conscious that not everyone has that opportunity. Therefore, it was really simple to select Mind in Kingston as our chosen charity. We all have links to the town and as an independent charity supporting the mental fitness & health of the local community, it was an easy decision.

An enormous thank you for your support, this will genuinely be an enormous undertaking for the week, but knowing that we have the support from friends and family and might be able to positively impact just one person's life by supporting Mind in Kingston, is most certainly motivation in itself.

Thank You

Mark, Steve, Mike and Harry
