Challenge Update (March '26) - Having decided that cycling nearly 300 miles around Northern Europe wasn't enough torture I have now been bullied into another challenge the week before we leave - namely an 418ft abseil down the largest abseil tower in the world, the National Lift Tower next to Northampton Saints ground!! Wish me luck please and a non-windy day ideally
After the experience and pain gained in the Ring of Fire events over the last 2 years, I have decided to take on the challenge, and pain again for 2026.
This time it is the 10th year of Ring of Fire and therefore to up the ante further there are multiple events planned which will combine to either damage or reward me. Only time will tell!!
Our first ride known as ‘Big ROF’ will take place in May covering 170 miles in Northern France over 1.5 days, visiting historical sites relating to the 2nd world war. For context this includes a Day 1 of 105 miles which will be my furthest mileage in a day that I have ever done so bring on the saddle sores.
We do these things to raise money for some great causes which include the following so please consider supporting me in whatever way you are able to:
Willen Hospice – It costs over £10 million each year for Willen Hospice to continue providing their expert, compassionate care. Fundraising is critical to help them support local families when they need it most.
4Ed Campaign – Supporting families affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND), this campaign provides financial assistance and essential resources to improve quality of life for those living with the condition.
Thanks in advance
