So here we go again with the Heavy Metal Truants. Last year was massively important for all the wrong reasons, but I was inspired to complete the 'Overkill' ride, 666 miles in 7 days, and as a team we raised an astonishing £205K in the face of adversity. A year on and the needs of our charities is greater, so I've raised my personal challenge to complete the 3 day 'Donington', 175 miles.... in 1 day. To acknowledge the passing a £3K raised, this complete act of stupidity will be accompanied with the wearing of Unicorn Lycra in a quest to nudge closer to £4K. With your help we can break the rolling total raised by HMT to over £1M.
Anybody who knows The Truants will appreciate that 'Nine Lives' is our way of sticking two fingers at the past 15 months.
