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.

My Updates

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

Saturday 20th Dec
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 !
