The Museum of Richmond is my local museum, where I've volunteered and enjoyed learning about my local area through the fascinating history and artefacts on display! I wanted to continue supporting the museum, whilst also setting myself a post-exam summer challenge, so I decided to train for a London-Brighton cycle during June, and attempt the cycle at the end of the month.

The Museum of Richmond is a small, free, local history museum and independent charity that runs a lively programme of temporary exhibitions, education visits, family workshops and communal activities. Its mission is to preserve, interpret and communicate the material evidence of Richmond's past for the public's benefit, education and enjoyment.

London-Brighton is a classic cycle which covers about 60 miles, taking in iconic features of Surrey and Sussex such as Ditchling Beacon, a challenging climb at the end of the route which has been featured in the Tour de France.
