First few rides

I'm super excited to get back in the saddle and ride again, I'm aiming for the big target of 1000 miles in September which sounds easy when you divide it into 30 days. I've done the maths for you it works out to be 33.33333 miles a day. I was blown after these 2 rides so far, I got to get back in shape quick if I want to achieve this awesome goal for a great cause too. Get the encouragement going and your hands out of your pockets (that's the easy part) and I'll do the hard work by turning the crank. Thanks for the love and support. 

I'm taking part in the Combat Stress CycleSeptember challenge!

This year I will be taking on CycleSeptember and cycling 250, 500, 750 or 1,000 kilometers to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

I’m taking vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.
