As you can see our very own Technical Director Alan Harrison is no stranger to donning his aerodynamic Lycra in aid of a good cause.
His latest challenge is the London to Paris bike ride to raise money for the Royal British Legion.
Prepared to bat away any comments about middle-aged men in Lycra (MAMIL) who should know better, Alan is putting his pride and fear of pain to one side to embrace the bum-numbing 284 miles.
Fortunately the distance is divided into four stages
Day 1: London to Dunkirk (129km): Leave the capital bright and early and head south through some of Kent’s finest scenery.
Day 2: Dunkirk to Abbeville (120.9km): Through the beautiful fields and open countryside of the Pas de Calais region.
Day 3: Abbeville to Beauvais (106.9km): From the town of Abbeville through the Somme and Oise regions of Picardie.
Day 4: Beauvais to Paris (100.8km): The final stretch from Beauvais to Paris.
