This weekend I am joining a (much younger and fitter) team to participate in the London Revolution bike ride. On the first day we do a 165km (102 miles in old money) loop from Canary Wharf via the Chiltern Hills, to finish at Windsor. On the second day we do a 135km (85 mile) southern loop via the North Downs, Box Hill, Herne Hill velodrome and back to Canary Wharf. I will be raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital (CS Equities charity of the year) and I am going to sell my ride for £5/km. That is extremely good value given that the weather forecast is pretty dire and I stared training much too late, so you are going to get a lot of effort for your money.

I will be coming round research and sales with a bucket for any donations, and I have set up a this account for more generous donations and in case the overseas offices are feeling left out.

So please help me out and buy a km or two.
