Reason to "Race across Europe":

Mainland Europe is the homeland of cycling and to be able to ride/race across it is an opportunity not to be missed. This opportunity has motivated me to push myself to higher levels of cycling fitness and to better myself whilst also providing the opportunity to raise money and awareness for a charity that is both close to my home and my heart.

What are you most looking forward to:

Racing as part of a team; completing a ‘once in a lifetime’ event; seeing and indeed riding some of the most scenic parts of Europe.

What are you least looking forward to:

Sleep deprivation.
