Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will start an epic solo cycle ride of circa 430 miles from Le Havre to Paris and onward to Bordeaux to raise money for

Due to my business commitments, I had to pull out at last minute, from a group charity ride from Paris to Bordeaux only 3 weeks ago, consisting of Warren Munson, Simon White, Mark Cribb, Russell Hicks, Pete Moor, Jeremy Gill all of whom made the 365 mile cycle.

 I've decided to go solo leaving on Saturday 2 November, he will catch a ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre, where he will then begin the epic ride across France.

 I will have to carry all of his provisions, water, tubes, food and clothes for the journey.  This time of year he is faces potential headwinds and rain.  Despite all this, he plans to travel around 130 miles per day, in order to reach his final destination in Bordeaux by Wednesday next week.

 I was gutted that I couldn’t go and I didn’t want to miss the chance to do my bit. So I’d rather ride alone than let Boo down.” Riding to raise money for Boo Charity is a really worthy cause where 100% of all funds go direct to the children. I’ve seen the great work they do and how they help so many children in Kenya.  I will no doubt encounter difficult times, but nothing that some of these destitute children have endured, so I will dig deep and keep peddling. 

 The proceeds from my ride will go towards Boo’s latest project to build a rescue unit for orphaned and abandoned babies in Kenya.

 This is the second year in which I and Boo supporters have undertaken a sponsored cycle in Europe for the charity, they are aiming to continue around Europe with new challenges each year.
