Long Cycle Down
A couple of club members have made comment about not seeing me on a bike lately. Well I’m hoping to put an end to those rumors with a bang. Yep, that’s right once again I’ll be cycling the 880 miles of the ‘end 2 end’. Due to popular demand it will be completed the easy way; top down.
David Law, Harry Crampton and I will set off from John O’Groats on Sunday 21st September and hope to reach Lands End the following Saturday.
Once again it seems only right to try and raise some money along the way and due to a couple of personal reasons we will be donating any money to the BreakThrough Breast Cancer Charity. I’m sure will agree it is a worthy cause so please feel free to spare a few pennies.
We also have a web site to keep a track of our progress. You can find out more details of the ride and the people behind it over at: www.longcycledown.com or please visit our online donation page at JustGiving.com

With thanks to both Andy and Rob who have already marshaled this season
The evening started out lovely and just as we started the heavens opened and it did not stop raining. Well done to the remaining 10 out of the 14 who signed on for sticking with it in the down pour. Please remember that if you do not want to start and you have been issued a number you MUST report to the TT secretary or at the very least one of the time keepers, Brian or Alison
Huge thanks to Brian, Alison, Roger and Andrew who all stuck around in the dreadful rain with me to support the 10 crazy riders
