Please support my Ambitious challenge!

On Sunday 28 June 2026 I will ride 220 miles in a single day from Manchester to London. A test of endurance, a journey that demands everything, and gives back more.

I am taking on the Ambitious 220 Challenge to raise funds for Ambitious about Autism, the national charity standing with autistic children and young people.

Too often autistic young people are unheard, unsupported, or shut out of opportunities. That can change. Every mile and every turn of the pedals helps create a world where autistic children and young people are accepted for who they are and given the chance to realise their ambitions.

This is more than a ride. This has purpose.

If you can, please consider donating to my page and join me in standing with autistic children and young people.

Hi all
The donations keep coming jn. Thank you so much. It’s definitely heartwarming and much appreciated by the charity as it will help a lot of children.

Training is going well. Since I changed job and travel by train instead of car, my hip issues seem to have disappeared..luckily 😁.
Last Sunday it was great weather and did a surprising well endurance ride: keeping the heart rate in Z2 but doing an average speed of 29kph over 102 km.
Things are moving in the right direction.
Now it’s a matter of staying in one piece. 😅

Carnaval and wintershoes

Friday 20th Feb
Last Sunday I went out on the ‘gravelbike’ to test my new wintershoes (which I should have bought years ago 😅). Nice sunny day but chilly (1degC) and a bit of wind. A good day to put in 95k with a few rolling hills. But I forgot that it was carnaval weekend so busy town centers throughout. It was good fun and good to experience that there were no issues staying in the saddle for 3,5 hrs… 

Training has started

Sunday 18th Jan
A wise person once said to me that the best day to start training was yesterday. Therefore end of last year I climbed on the turbo and started doing miles on Rouvy. Also some nice outdoor gravel rides. In this period is focused on putting in the miles and to get FTP back to the old level. 
This week has been terrible as Mr. Flu had knocked on my door. 4 days of suffering but thankfully that chapter is closed so looking forward to a new week of training.  

Welcome message

Ho everyone,
Many thanks for showing interest in my fundraiserpage. I feel priviliged that I can raise money for this fantastic charity.
People with autism deserve the support and tools they need to be successful in achieving their life goals. Especially for children and young adults, they need specialised help to allow them to learn while dealing with their disability.
Therefore Ambitious about Autism is such a great foundation.

I have 6 months of endurance training ahead of me. Being fifty years old, it also means a lot of stretching and core stability to make sure all muscles can deal with this challenge. But since I love cycling, it’s a challenge I’m keen to accept. And it will be worth it.

Many thanks for your kind donation and I will keep you updated via this blog !
