As a committed athlete, I am once again 'donning the lycra' and joining the reprobates from MKRUFC and friends to embark on a series of cycling challenges in the UK and Europe. In addition, and on the account of this being the 10th anniversary of our first ride, we will be doing a number of other challenges too : abseiling (The express lifts tower), river swimming, dragon-baot racing and even hill walking. A total of 19 challenges are on offer. How many can I do?

We raise funds via MKRUFC for a number of charities. The main three are :

1. Willen Hospice

2. MNDA

3. C-R-Y

and some smaller new charities to boot.

Please help me with a modest donation. Any help appreciated.

Ten years on from my first challenge (and 50th birthday surprise) can my knees take it? I am about to find out!
