I'm riding the first stage of the Yorkshire Grand Depart on July 4th with 38 other like minded individuals from Hiscox and other insurance brokers.

This is a 118 mile jaunt through the best climbs that the Yorkshire Dales have to offer, a ride that is challenging to most cyclists especially me!

I'm raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support as this is a charity very close to my heart. Any sponsorship would be gratefully received.

Over the last month or so I have been out riding my bike whenever I can in order to get ready for this challenging ride.
