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

2nd of September Windermere to Skipton 60-odd miles

After the vertical turned concave adventure I thought nothing could get to us, well the tiredness did. I had the best breakfast but the strangest start. People were deflated and a bit fed up; it is just that point of the journey when it is over half way but not close enough to home to get excited about. It was a bit hard bobbing up and down leaving the lakes to the dales. The rain was setting in and the edgy mood lingered on. 
After 60 something miles we lost our way too.We circled around Skipton in hope for a non-existent camp site, then the blaming game started. Blame but taking no responsibility, misunderstanding, talking talking talking ...  The whirlpool was pulling down but we surfaced in the end.
Find a camp site something to eat and then a pint ...the world seemed a much more reasonable place.
