This year I am taking part in The Northern Power Ride an inaugural ride in Northern England. The two day, 330km (200 mile) ride focuses on promoting diversity and inclusion.
We are riding from Newcastle through the Yorkshire Dales and then on to Manchester. I am a keen cyclist but 200 miles over some serious hills will be a challenge!
The ride is raising money for the children’s charity CORAM and Crisis!
Any support will be welcome!
