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

Sean Baber, 35, Bristol (South West)

Why the hell are you doing this?

Obviously for a charity that is very personal to myself, but also to prove to myself I can do it. I intend to have a great time going up and down the country and to lose a bit of weight/get fit.

Who / what is your inspiration?

In life - My family - the reason I get up in the morning.

Lance Armstrong - phenomenal athlete.

In work - Richard Branson - because you can be a geek and successful.

What will be the hardest part of the journey?

Where do I start , setting off at 7am...the A30 in Cornwall (nightmare hills) and passing my house and not stopping.

What will you do at the finish line?

Probably cry and then celebrate like a fool.

Will you ever get on a bike again?

Oh yes, got a box of 20 inner tubes that I need to use.
