Are you thinking about embarking on a cycle challenge? 
Well before you dust off your bike and start clocking up the miles with the gusto - make sure your bike FITs you. Why? Because much like walking several miles in ill-fitting shoes, you'll soon start to feel sore and develop aches and pains that could prove debilitating the further into your cycle event you get. 
Luckily, our resident mechanic and DA leader Chris is on hand to help. So whether it's London to Paris or through the dirt tracks of Zambia to Victoria Falls that you've got on the horizon, watch this first!

Our long time challengers and committed fundraisers are invited to join the DA Club. It is hugely inspiring and impressive to complete one challenge, let alone more than five and we are proud and privileged to know some very inspiring people, so we have asked Martyn, one of our members to tell us exactly what it's like and how he chose what adventures to take on.  

We all know there is nothing better than advice than from someone who has been there and done it. You may know DA team member Kim, through parts one and two of her blogs on her Sahara challenge experience. 

But here is the crux of it - we've heard about the challenge itself and vitally, her top tips but what are the best and worst moments? And ultimately, who is this challenge for?

In our short interview we asked:

• What were the best bits and why
• The gritty truth - what were the worst bits and why
• You must have had worries, how did you overcome them?
• Who would you recommend this challenge too and why?

Basically the kind of honest, juicy debrief you'd have with your friend over a coffee...
