Why am I cycling? There is not a simple and straightforward answer to this. It's a rather emotional one. The first reason was to support and help the Drinks Trust and the respective Cost of Living Crisis Appeal.

Secondly, its for Philip Tuck MW...

The Harvest Tour is dedicated to him; in order to celebrate his life and his contribution to the wine industry that he cared so passionately about.

Philip has always been a generous and long-standing supporter of The Drinks Trust, and one of the architects of this bike ride, besides a supporter of any wine professional regardless of their title, MS or MW!

I be cycling 3 days (more than 110k per day) with 30 other riders to raise money for this close to my heart initiative.

In general from June until the end of 2023, The Drinks Trust aims to raise £230,000 to support those who need our help the most through its new Cost of Living Crisis Appeal, and The Drinks Trust is asking the industry to take action to support this effort.
