Of all the stupid decisions I’ve made in my life, deciding to cycle 352 miles across four countries in three days is right up there.

Supporting Games Aid, a charity the games industry has setup up to help children and young people, a group of brave souls are riding from Cologne to Brighton next weekend.

Having spent the beginning of the year on crutches, mainly eating cakes and playing with LEGO, it was suggested it would be very funny for all if I joined in.  The freeze frame belly roll photo, kindly supplied by Microsoft, is me, two weeks after losing the crutches back in May.

Therefore I’d greatly appreciate your sponsorship to motivate me through all of the pain that awaits.  In return, I will keep my Twitter and FB page up-to-date with plenty of pictures of me dying on a bike for everyone to have a good giggle at.

Thank you very much.  352 miles. What have I done?
