Next year will be 10 years since I had a life changing cycling accident in London. This is the first major sportive and longest ride I have done since then and I’m aiming to complete 100km. I’m riding a custom titanium bike from Steve McCulley a Royal Marine and Navy cyclist who, after an IED incident in Afghanistan in 2011, founded liosbikes.com

I am raising funds for Poppyscotland to continue supporting the Armed Forces community living in Scotland. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot! Mark Beverstock
