Nick Sheppard, a guest of ours here at King of the Mountains, is due to scale the 3 road ascents of Mont Ventoux in a day on his bike next month in aid of Dingley Specialist Centre at Reading Hospital, so they can buy a set of specially adapted bikes for kids with disabilities for use by the hospital.   "Cingles" roughly translates as "nutters" or "crackpots"....

Nick's own son Ben, who has Cerebral Palsy, has one of these bikes of his own, paid for by his Dad,  which he just loves zooming about  on, just like the rest of us like zooming about on our bikes.  The idea is that those people with children like Ben who can't afford to pay for their own machine, will have access to one.

So, feel free to check out Nick's page at: http://www.justgiving.com/nicksheppard to show your support.

Thanks everyone.

Guy

PS: Winter has finally broken here and yesterday it was short sleeves and lots of (pasty) flesh on show time.  Hmmmm.
