I am taking part in the "Deloitte Ride Across Britain 2013", it will be an iconic trip from John O’Groats to Land’s End by bicycle! For the 700 people taking part there will be sweat, smiles, ups and downs as well as a few grimaces and groans on the hills as we all take on the challenge of 982 miles in just 9 days!

So if anyone feels they could donate to help make this pain worthwhile it will be deeply appreciated, thanks, Si
