This is an unusual post for us but we think that one of our regulars is amazing for taking on this challenge on Saturday and deserves some support - so if you are able to spare a pound to donate then he (and us) would be really grateful - we will have a pot in the cafe for donations too!!!
Good luck Matt from all of us here at TeaHee ๐๐๐
Matt says - After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in late 2019, I had to relearn how to cycle long distance again, a process that has taken over 5 years.
In December 2025 I decided I would push myself to the absolute limit and cycle solo and unsupported from my home in Kippax to King's Cross, London in a single day. That day is now approaching, Saturday the 20th June, setting off at 2.30am that day.
I've done over 2000 miles in training this year, dedicated hours to time in the saddle, commuted 3 days a week, either side of working 12 hour days. Thank you
