Prostate Cancer UK Newsletter & Blog

The great and amazing people at Prostate Cancer UK contacted me last week and asked if I would mind writing a blog post for their monthly email newsletter bulletin.
I was delighted and spent some time over the weekend thinking about what to blog about!

Finally came up with an idea of how my training is going and what I'm learning with every ride. Plus a fun aspect of some numbers related to facts and achievements so far!

Really hoping the team at Prostate Cancer UK like and use my blog that I submitted this morning!!

Here is an extract from the blog I submitted...

Finally I thought I share some numbers with you…..

• 150 – days between starting my training on 1st January and departing for London to Amsterdam
