I'm cycling miles to change young lives from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle

On Sunday 5 October, I will be taking part in Palace to Palace and cycling 45 or 90 miles from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle and raising fund for the King’s Trust.

The King's Trust has tailored programmes and provides long-term support give young people the practical skills and emotional resilience to pick themselves back up and create their own positive futures.

Following a cost of living crisis and pandemic which impacted their education, early careers and wellbeing, there are now almost 1 million young people not currently in work, education or training. 

Please help me to support The King's Trust by sponsoring my Palace to Palace cycle ride and sharing my page. Just a £20 donation could provide one young person with an inspiring two hours of work experience in a stable job in a thriving sector

My Updates

I am not bringing a D-Lock this year

Saturday 4th Oct
My inaugural Palace to Palace ride was in 2023.

A Capgemini colleague made reference to stopping at a pub half way round. That sounded very pleasant. I brought panniers and a D-Lock. No one else did!! It turns out that the event is brilliantly organised but we are expected to take it seriously. 

With zero training I found the ride incredibly difficult. This year no D-Lock. No pannier rack (it came off this morning). Still zero training.....and I am really quite concerned


Thank you to my Sponsors

Good luck! I once cycled London to Brighton and spent the last two miles with my backside an inch above the saddle as the burning thighs were preferable to sitting down. Hope your ride is less traumatic! Let’s catch up for a cuppa and a debrief! Helen
