315 km (195 miles) in one day??!

Yep. that's the challenge I'm taking on this summer. On 13 June I'll take part in the Vätternrundan, an event that takes cyclists round one of Sweden's biggest lakes. It's a real cycling festival with 20,000 cyclists taking part (cycling different distances) and as it's almost midsummer, it should be light for most of the 18 hours I'll be cycling - from 5.30am to midnight. I've never ridden such a long distance before in one day so it's going to be a physical as well as mental challenge; in fact, even getting to the start line for my start time of 5.34am will be a big ask!

To be honest, I'm a bit anxious about this ride as a lot of things could go wrong but that's all part of the challenge.

I've set a fundraising target to reflect the number of kilometres I'll be riding. Any support you can give would be very welcome and help World Bicycle Relief provide bicycles to mobilise communities across Africa and Colombia. Thanks!

A long, hot day in the saddle..

Will you help me empower people with life-changing bicycles?

This May and June, I'm excited to be pedaling to empower women and girls! I'm joining supporters everywhere to raise funds and awareness for World Bicycle Relief, a global nonprofit committed to helping individuals overcome the barrier of distance by mobilizing rural communities around the world with bicycles.

If you want to pedal along, click 'Join the Team' and be a part of the fun. If you want to support with a donation, you will be helping get more women and girls on bikes to achieve independence and thrive.

This year, with more than 1 million Buffalo Bicycles on the road, there’s no better time to join the movement that’s mobilizing the next generation of women and girls. Because 1 million is just the beginning.
