So after 18 months of lazing around and lack of exercise I have decided that I needed to get back on my bike and needed a suitable challenge to provide an incentive to get fit again.

The 2024 RideLondon-Essex 100 seemed like an appropriate opportunity so with my daughter Thyrza we are both taking on the ride - 100 MILES IN ONE DAY!!!!! We also thought that if we were going to do it then we may as well raise some monies for a good cause so we joined the MIND Team.

So support is in the fight for mental health as we gear up for the 2024 RideLondon-Essex 100. Together, we'll show everyone with a mental health problem that they are not alone. Our charity stream for Mind aims to make a real difference, and your support can help us reach our fundraising goal. Let's pedal towards a brighter future for those struggling with mental health.
