"We are trying to raise £2000 if possible, the ride is called Cake Ride For Mark in memory of our colleague Mark Gatty."
On the Just Giving page it says: "Mark worked in Hemel transport as a clerk and raised vast amounts of money for the Hospice of St Francis.
"He took part in many cycle rides, including from Land's End to John O'Groats and London to Paris. Sadly, he passed away earlier this year and this ride is in memory of him."
