Long-standing MCC member Richard is fundraising to install high quality, covered and secure cycle parking for staff and visitors at St Raphael's Hospice in Sutton (SW London), following the death of his dear cycle campaign friend Ceri Davies recently died there. At his final visit they together lamented that there was nowhere for him to his bike!
Over the summer he's riding 400 km in the French Alps, including the Marmotte - Europe's toughest sportive, with 5,000 metres of climbing; 1,000 km to Land's End and back via Dartmoor; 160 km Ride London; 500 km return to Paris; and the epic 1,200 km Paris-Brest-Paris audax event, all in July and August. 3,260 km (2,000 miles) in total.

Good for you, good for Merton!
