First Post

Hi,

Welcome to my blog.

My name is John Ottaway and the primary function of this blog is to update my family and friends on my progress as I train for and then set off, on a solo bike ride to raise money for Help for Heroes and Naomi House, (a local children's hospice which couldn't run without donations).

I will be riding from my workplace, Stannah Lift Services Ltd, in Hampshire to Daldoss Lifts in Trento, Italy. I will be on my own, no support vehicle, everything I need will be on the bike, including the tent I will be sleeping in each night. I will cover almost 900 miles through England, France, Switzerland and over The Alps into Italy and hopefully have interesting things to report each day as I travel...
