In the space of 24 hours I am aiming to ride 1000 miles around the United Kingdom, a challenge that the Iron Butt Association call the SaddleSore 1000. No heroics, just straight down the A1 to Huntingdon, head west to Walsall, north up the west coast to Inverness, east across to Aberdeen, then back to Bedlington. While weather dependant, the target date is the 20th of July 2026.

I've chosen to raise money for the The Dales School because the work they are doing to support my son Hector and so many others with additional needs makes a demonstratable difference to the lives of so many children, helping them to grow and understand the world, preparing for life ahead.

Thank you for reading!
