He did his first big ride (I think) after his brother Martin, who had Down's Syndrome, died. This quote is pretty good regarding it:
The 64-year-old said: “When I set out to cycle this route, from my home in Berkshire to Spain, people automatically assumed I was doing it for a variety of reasons like charity.
“It wasn’t. It was all about reaching your potential just like Martin did each and every day. So it was a personal challenge, to see if I could do it.

@King_Saxlingham same feeling here! He stayed in Cardigan a few miles from the event I was at last weekend, and he encourages people to say hi and have a chat. Some sightings by riders, and someone gave him a hand fixing his bike (and got a sticker from him!), but alas, I missed him. Got sent a link to The Cycling Podcast (episode 200) interview with him - again, quite envious of his free spirit approach to epic rides
