The King's Trust

I'm cycling 100+ miles on Sun 4 Oct 2026 to change young lives!

In October it'll be 2 years since I recovered from my shoulder injury and completed the 92 mile Ultra bike ride challenge for the Prince's Trust.

I've registered to take on my longest ever bike ride challenge by doing the 100+ mile Ultra! Plus the extra miles for me to get to the start line and get home afterwards 😅

My start time is 06:45, on a dark autumnal morning. Assuming all goes well, it'll take around 7 hours on the bike.

Starting on The Mall at Buckingham Palace, past iconic London landmarks, down to Surrey and into Windsor, before heading back into the city to finish at Battersea Park.

Any donations are welcome to go to an excellent cause.

Thank you to Simply Business for sponsoring my registration fee.

At a time where almost a million young people in the UK are out of work, The King’s Trust are committed to ending youth unemployment.

The King's Trust (formerly known as The Prince’s Trust) is a youth charity providing long-term support and tailored programmes that empower young people across the UK to transform their lives. Every penny raised will help break down barriers, open doors and support young people to build the confidence and skills they need to find work.

Please help me support The King's Trust by sponsoring my Palace to Palace challenge and sharing my page to double the impact. A donation of £26 could cover the cost of travel for an isolated young person to attend a one-week King’s Trust course, helping them build vital skills and gain valuable work experience.

I achieved the golden jersey!

Wednesday 16th Sep

A big shout out to all my donors, I was gifted a golden jersey from the Kings Trust as I was one of the first 100 participants to raise £300! I tried out my new jersey before sunrise today before work, on a 41 miles training ride before work, I really like it! Was it ideal timing to do a long ride at fast pace, 4 days after a 92 mile ride? No. But I have limited options to get the required training done.

Mammoth 92 mile training ride!

Sunday 13th Sep

I completed a massive training ride yesterday to Castle Hedingham with my friend Nick. I'm aching today!

7am start - 70 miles non-stop solo training ride 😅

Saturday 29th Aug

I've nearly hit £300 in donations 🙌

Ride with Theo in Denmark

Thursday 27th Aug

24 amazing Danish miles on rented bikes with the boy and I returned to training on grey and wet roads at home 😆

Out early for a solo training ride.

Sunday 2nd Aug

Amazing route with some tough hills, 3 hours on the saddle, numb bum! #PalaceToPalace

A much better route this morning!

Wednesday 22nd Jul

It was the perfect morning, I cycled to Chipping Ongar and back, beautiful countryside, nice temperature, 31 miles and I pushed harder in the last 10 miles.

First longer training ride

Sunday 19th Jul

I clocked up 32 miles for my first long training this morning. The legs felt good, the bike was zipping along but navigation wasn't the best 😂 I reached a few dead ends and gravel paths along the canal were bumpy. It's all fun and games! Thank you for the donations to date, it keeps me motivated! I'm aiming to do 1,000 miles in Jul-Sep, ahead of the event! (That's more miles I'll do in the car🤣)

Hill training started today

Wednesday 15th Jul

Hill training started this morning in Epping Forest, in preparation for the Palace to Palace Ultra. It was a great start to the day. https://events.kingstrust.org.uk/fundraisers/ataata/palace-to-palace

Training plan

Sunday 12th Jul

100+ miles in one day. 1,000 miles of training over the next 3 months. Let’s do this! 💪🚴‍♂️

It’s going to take a lot of saddle time throughout July, August, and September.

The route

Friday 19th Jun

Here is the proposed route for the day. The roads aren't closed to the public, we'll be cruising with anything else that will be on the road.

The bike is ready and feeling great for the extra miles that I'll do from now until Oct to train for the challenge, and of course the big day itself!
