For many people the last couple of years haven't been easy and I am no exception. I feel I am now emerging from the darkness. I am using this ride to reclaim some physical fitness and improve my mental health. Having this to aim for has got me to get up at 6a.m. riding to Hampstead heath and swim in the pond. When I started the water temperature was 13 and the air temp was 10. I did 2 circuits of the pond. Today the water temp was 18 and I did 5 circuits and the cycled home. Of course I also want to help WWF who are a marvelous organisation.

WWF is at the heart of global efforts to address the world’s most important environmental challenges: safeguarding the natural world, tackling climate change and enabling people to use only their fair share of natural resources. Together we can build a future where people and nature thrive.Your support is much appreciated.Find out more by visiting wwf.org.uk
