I hope this is not too "Corporate" .... Apologies if it is.
Tomorrow I'm flying out to Bilbao for the start of our annual corporate charity bike ride. The ride starts on Sunday morning. Myself and 99 fellow cyclists will face 450 miles of tarmac and 33,000 feet of climbing (yes that is 33,000 feet of climbing) before we roll into Santiago de Compestela on Thursday. The ride is going to be a mighty challenge, taking in the Alton de L’Angliru - tough for a pro, completely daunting for a slightly overweight 52 year old with epilepsy and a pacemaker !
The aim of the ride is to support the work of Plan International’s “Safer Cities” project – putting children at the centre of transforming cities into places of inclusion, tolerance and opportunity for everyone.
For loads more information on the ride, on Plan International’s work and to get day by day updates you can use the following link:

I will be taking plenty of photos and will post a full report on my return. At present I am counting down the hours and trying to combat the anxiety attacks. I really don't know how I am going to get through this but I guess once I'm on the road its just a matter of keeping the pedals turning ... easy isn't it !
