Switching from London’s Mall to a rural market place for a good cause
The pandemic won’t stop us…
I won’t be on the start line with 30,000 other cyclists for the Prudential RideLondon100 as planned on Sunday 16 August.
Sadly, it’s another casualty of the unforeseen events of this strangest of years we’re coming to terms with.
Among the many adjustments we’re all making, I made my mind up during lockdown that it wasn’t going to stop me supporting the incredible work of Children with Cancer UK because their suffering doesn’t stop until we find a cure. Their suffering doesn’t stop during a pandemic.
Every day, a dozen families in the UK still receive the devastating news that their child has cancer.
So, that same weekend, I and a handful of friends and family will be switching our route from the streets of London along the Olympic course through Surrey for 100 miles on local roads here in the Cotswolds.
We’re riding in our own Prudential RideCotswolds100 and swapping The Mall for a finish line in Cirencester Market Place.
