Virtual Download Festival is happening this June, and I'm joining a motley crew of Downloaders in the virtual edition of their annual charity cycle ride. There are three levels of challenge (cycles of hell), and they are thus:
175 miles: 'The Road Crew' - London to Donnington. 333 miles: 'The Bomber' (Lemmy loved a double). 666 miles: 'Overkill' - ‘because every party, gig, and indeed bike ride always has to have someone who takes it that much further’.
I’m cycling 666 miles in 12 days, an average of 55.5 miles a day (or Dulwich to Basingstoke) for 12 days straight while working my day job. I’ll be riding indoors and outdoors (following all social distance rules).
I'm not just doing this to feel the wind in my beard. I'm aiming to raise £500 for charities who make the world a better place for children and young people. Check out info on the charities and how your money will be put to work on this page. Please sponsor me!
Should you need them, Annette’s also added these incentives:
1. ANY DONATION
Sponsor any amount and add a song to my Spotify cycling playlist. Rock, metal, cycling songs, or anything you care to torture me with. Click on this link: https://spoti.fi/36BlcnU
2. FIRST DONATION OF £25
I shave my legs, like pro cyclists!
3. FIRST DONATION of £50
I dye my hair a colour of your choosing.
4. £500 BY 12TH JUNE
If I reach my target, I’ll ride naked for the day in honour of World Naked Bike Ride on the 13th June.
