One does not simply walk into Mordor....they cycle!

I'm taking part in The Conqueror, Lord of the Rings challenge, that will see me complete a journey of 668 miles, through 5 virtual challenges, tracking the path of Frodo and Sam, from the Shire to Mount Doom, to destroy the ring.

Working from home and with a young child, most of this will be completed on a home exercise bike, however I hope to get at least 10% done out in the real world. Regular updates will be posted here and on social media. I am aiming to complete the challenge before July.

I'm doing this for one of several great charities, just pick where you want your donation to go. Thanks

Scottish Book Trust , that provides free books to Scottish children

WaterAid , that provides that most basic and critical resource of fresh water

Africa On The Ball , that provides social change in Africa via football
