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

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

30th September Glasgow to Dumfries

90 miles nine o I have never ever done that much in my life.

We set off by 8 am and it was raining a bit later it was heavy rain by 10 it was cats and dogs, by 11 the occasional cow thrown in. At this point my gortex gave up and I was dripping so were my clothes. It was all about positioning; try to get behind a thin wheeled bike with a mudgard so I do not end up with the whole road in my face, also the racer position was definitely out of the question
We stopped at 12 for lunch and then the sky opened and let the sun have a go too. After that everything was just hunky dory.

I feel I am getting stronger day by day I kind of started to enjoys the ups and today I was reasonably speedy too it does feel great.
