Story

I am:

  1. a 61 year old man;
  2. a shade under 6ft*; and
  3. wanting to make money for a fantastic charity run by amazing people. 

My son (Charlie) and I are having a Summer of cycling. Inspired by the Tour de Yorkshire we are going to conquer two very challenging events:

  1. Climb the intimidating Mont Ventoux - We will be cycling the Malaucene Route (all 21.5km with an average gradient of 7.5% - with some section as higher than 12%); and
  2. Prudential Ride London (100 miles) - tackling the infamous Box Hill.

Why are we doing this?

The George Oliver Foundation is a fantastic charity set up by Mark and Emily (please visit www.georgesfoundation.org). Charlie is a trustee of the charity and therefore it is very close to our hearts. The George Oliver Foundation is supporting some amazing charities this year and it WILL make a difference to the lives of children who need some additional help and support in making hard lives easier.

Thank you very much for your support. Please spread the word!

Eamonn and Charlie
