This is a blog to cover my little adventure of cycling from London to the French Alps, followed by some mountaineering, in Aug/Sept 2010.

The cycle ride is to raise money for charity, The Princes Trust. Please enjoy the read, the photos and the videos, and I hope that my physical, narrative and pictorial efforts not only entertain you in your lunch break or whenever you are reading this, but also inspire you to give some of your hard-earned cash to charity, to help those who need a little extra support so that they can make the right next step in their lives.

bienvenue en france

Good day of cycling here in france: an early and wet start from caen and hillier than expected, but it cleared up nicely and flattened out towards the end! My first 100 mile ride too. Tonight im in the small town of senonches, but tomorrow is tues, so not part of the french weekend like mon is, and i will pass through chartres and orleans, so there is a fighting chance of a proper internet cafe somewhere, for a more substantial update.
