Can an ageing, broken down man really ride 30 days straight, doing 100km a day?!
My MOVEMBER challenge is twofold: to grow a splendid handlebar moustache and also to cycle here in Taipei, Taiwan 100km EVERY DAY for 30 DAYS! Why?
[A great Q especially considering I got a HEMORRHOID the DAY BEFORE I started this challenge!]
Well, there have been times in my life where I was depressed, and as a man, and an English man, I felt like I had to keep it bottled up. Stiff upper lip and all that.
Sport rescued me often, football and specifically the bicycle. Cycling is an individual pursuit in many ways but there is also a social side to it that many of us hold very dear. No matter where you are in the world, no matter whether you speak the country's language or not, if you meet a cyclist, you can communicate through your passion and love for the bike.
'Cycleish', I call it.
There are so many of us that would not even like to imagine life without our bicycles.
So, that's why! I'll be cycling alone often but also expecting to be joined by many of my bike buddies here in Taipei.
In these videos I'll be showing scenes of Taipei and the cycling roads here, as well as documenting the physical and mental changes that I undergo during this quite daunting challenge!
If you feel so inclined, please follow the link and donate, many thanks!
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference for men's health - in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young. Help me, help us, raise some cash for a very worthy cause ;-) Thank you!
