<p>Hello everyone! &nbsp;Thanks for visiting.</p> <p>I am re-attempting the Coast &amp; Castles Cycle Route, 200 miles from Newcastle to Edinburgh, all by bike. &nbsp;Last time around I made it to within inches of the Scottish border before an ill-timed dive over my handlebars meant that I had to end the ride early, so this time we're trying to complete the ride in 3 days (8th to 10th March) instead of 4, meaning less time for fooling around.</p> <p>I would like to raise &pound;500 for the RECLAIM project.</p> <p>RECLAIM is a multi-award winning charity supporting young people in Greater Manchester, providing them with the opportunity to make positive changes in their communities, helping them challenge negative stereotypes, and promoting self-belief and leadership. &nbsp;I've personally volunteered as a mentor on one of the projects, and I can't talk highly enough about the positive impact that being involved in the scheme has had for young people.</p> <p>For more info visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.reclaimproject.org.uk/">http://www.reclaimproject.org.uk/</a></p>
