Name, age and area of the country you will represent.

Jens Gladikowski, 38, London and Germany (for some cosmopolitan flair)

Why the hell are you doing this?

I can only do parts of the trip and want to support the rest of the team who are doing the entire journey. I think this is an inspired endeavour and deserves all the support one can give. Doing it in support of a charity and having some fun along the way is something I really look forward to.

Who / what is your inspiration?

Sean telling me not that long ago that he has done his first 20mile bikeride. Full credit to his (and everyone's) guts and tenacity to see this through.

What will be the hardest part of the journey?

Probably getting through Glasgow to meet the guys on their final stages.

What will you do at the finish line?

Seek shelter from the rain.

Will you ever get on a bike again?

Quite likely, but probably not the next day.
