The challenge is quite simple, you just have to get from Essex on the east coast of England to Weston Super Mare on the west during the hours of daylight.....oh, you're on a bike.....and it's unsupported!

So - the day starts at dawn and you keep pedalling 205 miles (328 km) in a westerly direction hoping that it's still light when you get there.

I'm riding to raise funds for HAFS (Herne Association of Families and Staff) who work incredibly hard to enrich the lives of the children at Herne Junior School. They do incredible work from organising discos to funding day trips up to London.

Training has been 'challenging' to say the least, but with nice dry day and a strong tailwind I'm sure that I'll finish.
