Hide AdJames, 22, said: “I’ve always wanted to do something since my dad passed away from cancer in 2003.
“At the time I was quite young but I took up cycling last year and then decided to do this for Cancer Research UK which is a charity I wanted to support.
“Me and Stewart both took up cycling at the same time, mostly just to get a bit fitter and as we got into it more and more we decided to do something challenging and raise money for charity.
“I’ve got mixed feelings about it. I’m a bit excited but I’m also a bit nervous.”
