Mull 2 Hull 2011

It has started when .....

I was cycling from Mull to Hull 450 miles for a variety of reasons: to have fun, because I was able to, as a part of a survival strategy and to try to raise a shedload of money for charity! ... and I did it £2800 and a much perter bottom

And now... www.theride.org.uk

Friday 13th till Sunday 29th of July 2012

1000 miles, John O Groats to the Olympics, through 5 capitals (Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff, London), A bunch of cancer patients (past or present) on their bike .... not your everyday journey

Organising a campaigning cycle ride to Have fun.... Cancer is deadly serious, but you can have serious fun with it..............Shout it out, you can live well with cancer because it is part of our lives not our whole life.............Calling for services to get and keep active to give us a better quality of life, through treatment and beyond.

You can join the The Ride

The whole hog, a few days, or a short ride with us, or maybe support The Ride and the campaign.

Life is for living

27th

7.30 ferry from Oban. It was a taster of the magic of Mull. Ruined castle on the shore, lighthouses sail between to.
It was a bit of a suprise that we had to bike to Tobemory I thought it all kicked off tomorrow, but hey. I was a bit tired as I haven't slept much on the bus, but the excitement opened the heavy eyelids. The views were stunning and I can't stop smiling. The road was ok till three quarters of the way, then it turned from bearable uphill to struggle and beyond but we got there in the end. My lovely lovely friend Pru and Tody with her Spanish cousin Mariona came to meet me as they had to be in Glasgow by Tuesday and came a couple of days before so they can support me. It was great and surreal and very normal at the same time. The sun was out and our mood was high. Than I collapsed around 9 I was so dog tired.
