I decided to do a 358 km cycle challenge because I am quite frankly terrified of riding a bike, but cycling is just such a fantastic form of transport - it is healthy and doesn't harm the environment. Signing up to this challenge was a way to force myself to get over my fear of cycling, while also raising money for a great cause.
