A very successful event!

Thanks to your amazing generosity, you have collectively donated £322. My little Hitchin ride of 120 riders has raised very nearly £14,000. Across the UK today, over 12,000 riders took part and raised a staggering £1,032,000. Then there are the other countries across the globe today, still yet to have their rides.

Thankyou everyone, for helping make this world a better place.

Half Way Point

Here we are at the half way point, the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden. Its been a chillier ride than I had hoped for, on the plus side it has kept the number of flying insects down, which is great as I am wearing my retro open face helment today!

Getting ready! - 27th April

Oil & filter changed, paint and bright-work polished. Test-ridden up to Grafham Water.

Just have to keep it clean for the big day!

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. This charity has a special personal importance for me as prostate cancer has affected my family.

So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause, and to help the men we care about live longer, happier and healthier lives.
