Simon will be participating in Le Cure 2026 and will attempt to cycle 397 kilometers and climb 10,059 vertical metres.

Cycling Experience:

Commuter/ 'weekend warrior'/ backpacking on bikes since about 2015.

Biggest Fear:

The accrual of pain meaning that Day 4 is really not that pleasant or, indeed, not completed!

Reason For Doing This:

My mother received treatment at Royal Marsden before her passing 20 years ago. The ability to be part of a father-son combo makes the ride even more attractive, if daunting.
