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

On Sunday 6th 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.

The recent Class of Covid report reveals almost half of young people in the UK (49%) feel anxious about their future on a daily basis, with 59% agreeing it feels frightening for their generation. Findings suggest the impact of the pandemic and now a cost-of-living crisis is taking its toll on young people, as 45% agree anxiety around recent political and economic events affects them daily. More than a third (35%) feel their life is spiralling out of control, and for those from lower income backgrounds, this increases to 41%.

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 a young person with an experienced youth worker for an hour, building their confidence, resilience and motivation during this time.

Anniversary cycle.

Tuesday 1st Oct
Today was my 10 year wedding anniversary (26 Sept) so we had a couple of days off to enjoy away. Managed 28 miles around the Bath area - hadn't quite realised how hilly it is around here! So beautiful though.

19 miles in the bag

Friday 20th Sep
Got a proper training ride in this morning, 30km. Countryside + rivers + animals + sunshine +Twyford mill + chain off and met a kind helper + what felt like lots of hills + windy. Slightly worrying this is not even half of Palace to Palace but got another couple of weeks to improve.

Commute home with Paige

Tuesday 20th Aug
Enjoyed this commute home from work with the lovely Paige. It was her first day commuting to work and back on a bike. She impresses me - signed up to do the 40 mile Palace to Palace to raise money for The King's Trust having just brought a bike and not cycled for a very long time. 
Hoorah to us both for getting into cycling this year!
