Tomorrow, I’m riding from the Theatre Of Dreams to Blackpool, as one of thousands of cyclists taking part in the Bike Events Manchester to Blackpool<\/strong> bike ride.<\/p>\n

I’m riding in memory of my Mum and donating all sponsorship raised to Springhill Hospice in Rochdale, a fantastic place that provides respite and end of life care to terminally ill people. \u00a0The help they gave to my family cannot be put into words, and they rely on donations to continue their\u00a0wonderful\u00a0work.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to support me, and more importantly them, please visit my JustGiving page<\/a>. Thank you.<\/p>\n

How Do You Know I’m not Cheating?<\/h2>\n

Using the magic of Google Latitude, I’m making my whereabouts public for one day only. \u00a0By visiting this very blog page, you’ll be able to see (I hope), where I’m up to. \u00a0If I seem to be in Bamber Bridge for a long time, it’s because I promised my cousin I’d pop in for a brew. You’ve got to take your chances for free brews, haven’t you?<\/p>\n

It’s not a race, but I’ll be happy to put 60 miles onto the #Jul100 sheet and raise some much-needed money for the hospice. \u00a0I’ve got my energy bars and my lift home, so I’m thoroughly looking forward to it… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
