Last year I managed to ride to Brighton OFFROAD in the BHF organised mountain bike event. This has whetted my appetite to do the road version on sunday 16th july 2013. This event is in many ways the cycling equivalent of the London Marathon - a real mass participation event. It will be hard work getting there with 50,000+ people doing the same and I'm going to have to put a massive effort in on Ditchlin Beacon near the end to avoid the snakers and walkers!

Please spare whatever you can for this very good cause in honour of my suffering next weekend!
