Story

'that's quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life!'

Mrs Bicci Quintin - Sept '24 - after seeing me in Lycra for the first time... As you will know, I do not have the most natural cyclist physique, turns out there are NO hiding places in Lyrca!

I have foolishly agreed to join a bunch of incredible friends on an epic adventure...

As part of Lansdown Cricket Club's Bicentenary Celebrations, they've set the challenge to raise £200k for their 200 years of history - all for amazing local charities.

I'm joining 17 other members to take on a MASSIVE cycle ride from Durham to Bath via every test cricket ground in England - that 850kms in just four days - all for amazing local charities. These are primarily RUHX, The official Charity of The Royal United Hospital and Dorothy House Hospice Care.

Training has been miserable, a particular low point was the trip to Majorca pictures attached!

* Note - due to the way Just Giving works, my sponsorship page is set to raise funds for RUHx. The beneficiaries for each rider reflects the full roster of primary beneficiaries - Dorothy House Hospice Care and RUHX, The Official Charity of Bath's Royal United Hospital, Bath Gateway out and About and The Ruth Strauss Foundation.

Please give generously! Else I'll share more pictures of me in Lycra
