On the 10th June I rode nearly 90 miles in the White Rose Classic in North Yorkshire and came in at 26th place in a little over 5 hours 30 minutes. Very pleased given the relentless hills and temperatures of 28 degrees.

The Challenge
I have been challenged to a bike race - THE bike race for amateurs. I have agreed to the challenge and have 12 months to prepare. I had not ridden a bike for 12 years; I had put on some weight and weighed in at 97kg. On July 16th 2007 I will be attempting the amateur stage of the Tour de France to raise money for the Williams Syndrome Foundation. Yes, I mad. Thanks Simon!
Fundraising
Donating through www.justgiving.com/stephendunn is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Williams Syndrome Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now!
