Former Bath and England Rugby captain Phil de Glanville will join a host of famous names, service personnel and fundraisers in the Help for Heroes' Hero Ride this weekend.
De Glanville, who won 34 international caps and enjoyed a 12-year club career with Bath, will join up with his friend Huw Bunn's part of the ride, which forms part of the national challenge finishing on Sunday.
The Hero Ride aims to raise £2 million to provide lifelong support for those who have suffered and survived injuries while serving our country.
Cyclists from all corners of the country staging fundraising bike rides will meet in Blackheath and ride together into central London.
Last year Mr Bunn was part of a team of four who took part in the Hero Ride from Paris to London, and this year has organised a team of more than 50 people to ride from Bath to the capital.
Mr Bunn and his team will also be joined on the ride, which will begin tomorrow at Farleigh Hungerford, by local wounded servicemen Harry Long and Ben Deacon.
Mr Bunn said: "It's all spiralled out of control a bit really, there were four of us to begin, with but now we're up to about 50. But that's not a bad thing at all as it's for a great cause, I think the more people who get involved across the country the better and obviously it's better for us in terms of fundraising so I would encourage as many people as possible to show their support. We're going along with Harry and Ben who have said they'll tell us about their experiences as we go, so that's another aspect to the ride I'm looking forward to as it's for guys like that that it is all about."
Chief executive and co-founder of Help for Heroes, Bryn Parry, said: "This is another chance for the great British public to get behind our troops, whether they are riding, fundraising or cheering on the streets we urge everyone to get involved.
"With the withdrawal from Afghanistan drawing closer, it is easy to think the job is over but the battle has just begun. Challenges such as this allow our support to continue."
The charity has seen a huge surge of support since last week's killing of soldier Lee Rigby in Woolwich.
