Please support my Ambitious Challenge, riding 220 miles in one day!
I’m taking part in the Rapha Ambitious bike ride from Manchester to London on Sunday 22 June 2025. I will be riding 220 miles in one day to raise funds for Ambitious about Autism.
Ambitious about Autism is the national charity standing with autistic children and young people to champion their rights, campaign for change and help create opportunities. They believe that every autistic child and young person has the right to be themselves, to be heard, included and supported and to realise their ambitions.
It's a cause very close to my heart, so please donate to support it. Anything you can spare would be hugely appreciated. Thank you so much!

Last chance saloon
Friday 30th May With just over 3 weeks to go until the big ride, training time is running out. I’ve got a few 200km rides in the bank but need to persevere.I’m starting to understand what it must be like to wake up every day feeling like there’s a mountain to climb. To help autistic children and young people overcome the daily challenges they face, you can make a donation to Ambitious about Autism via my funding page. Let’s make a difference!

"Daz went full dog and drank the bowl on all fours, dead flies and all. To this day I have no idea what happened the rest of that night, but we definitely proved that you could have a big night on a fiver. Ever since, I can't see a £5 note without smiling. "
Worthy cause, Bob. Good luck with the ride!
