Rider Profile - Rik Hawke


Cycling From: Barcelona
Job: Head of Continual Service Improvement & Innovation
Site: Hatfield
Time at CC: 1 year & 9 months
Hobbies: Riding a bike
How long have you been cycling: Since I was about 4 years old
Why are you taking part in this challenge: About 2 1/2 years ago my dad died of cancer and I have had my own run-ins with the disease, so two of the charities are close to my heart and I would like to so what I can to support them. My uncle had Alzheimer's before his 60th birthday and ultimately it's destroyed his life so, again, I want to contribute to this worthy charity. And, of course for a self-confessed cycle nut how could I possibly pass up the opportunity to ride through some of the most cycling mad countries in the world
What are you most looking forward to: Riding through the Pyrenees mountains
What are you least looking forward to: Saddle sores
