In an effort to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, I'll be joining the guys at Tarmac East Midlands Contracting on the 17th June to ride from Whitehaven, over the Pennines to Whitley Bay, which, I might add includes 12,500 feet of climbing!
The cyclists are Mark Goslin, Richard Vine, Niall Barnett, Matt Winnington, Gareth Hopkins, Tim Pigula, Jonathan Falls, Matt Fields, Dean Ziolkowski, Matt Antill, Ian Longden, Liam Plowright, Steve Hayes and of course myself.
11 of the team will be taking the 'easy option' over 2 days, the remaining 3 brave cyclists are aiming to complete the full 146 miles in the day!
We will be ably supported with food, refreshments and signposts by Jane Preston, Linzi Cripps, Ian Robinson and Jason Falls.
As you are all aware I do not have the physique for cycling or I may add any sport other than Rugby, so you can imagine how this challenge will test my resolve.
It's a great cause so any support would be much appreciated.
