Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. This won't be the first time you've seen me take on a long cycle with poor preparation... but as always, it's for a very good cause.

This year marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European Cycle Rides, which began in January 2016 with an unforgettable journey to Bordeaux to raise money for the Exeter Chiefs Foundation and witness Chiefs compete in the European Champions Cup.

On January 7th, 2026 (note January), we're doing it again, this time taking on a challenging 250-mile ride to Paris for an exciting match against Stade Francais.

Each cyclist and support staff member is committed to covering their own expenses on these rides, which means every penny donated goes directly to the Foundation. This foundation plays a vital role in uplifting numerous local charities across Devon, making a profound impact on the community and those in need.

I would be so grateful for any donation you're able to make, and I promise to keep my wheels turning until I spot the Eiffel Tower.
