Barely out stabilisers, i donned my Lycra and started my warm up practice rides, ahead of this years Ring of Fire 22 ride, where I have accepted the challenge to cycle for the joint benefit of Milton Keynes RUFC and Willen Hospice. 500 miles over 5 days from Bordeaux down the Atlantic Coast to Dax, inland to condom-Cahors-Bergerac and then back to Bordeaux. An organised group of fellow athletes. All costs are self funded or sponsored and all donations go directly to the club and Willen Hospice.
