Having missed my flight home from MIPIM last year (oops!) i'm cutting costs and cycling the 1,500km to Cannes in 2019.
Since purchasing my first road bike in 2008 I have been a keen social cyclist, and have always enjoyed challenging myself on the bike. Having always talked of cycling to Cannes, this year I have gone one step further and actually signed up.
I have undertaken a number of challenges in the past, riding the Olympic route, cycling to Brighton, 24 hours in Newport Velodrome...but never on a scale like this!
Training over the winter will be tough, cold mornings, dark nights, hours on the turbo trainer, but hopefully it will all pay off in the end.
Please help me reach my target of raising £3,000 for Coram, supporting them and the fantastic work they do finding loving and secure homes for some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-place children in the country.

Raising Funds For
Club Peloton
Club Peloton is a fundraising charity which uses cycling as its platform for challenge events, bringing together a love for the sport and the opportunity to raise money for great causes.
Our main grant recipient - receiving two thirds of all funds raised - is Coram, the UK’s oldest and first children’s charity that has been supporting vulnerable children for over 275 years. Their flagship service, Coram Adoption, is the most successful voluntary adoption agency in the UK., finding loving and secure homes for some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-place children in the country. They now help more than 1.25 million children and young people every year, and this would not be possible without the generosity of our riders
Club Peloton will be supporting Coram’s vital programmes, with a specific focus on Coram’s unrivalled and pioneering adoption service. For more information please visit: www.coram.org.uk.
