Well then I have given the motorbike a rest for a while and I have now moved onto a pedal bike.

THE BIG UK RIDE


Lands End to John O'Groats

14th - 28th July 2007

Claire Chedzoy, Clare Povah, Geraint Rowland and Jody Foy will be completing a mammoth challenge by cycling from Lands End to John O’groats. A Total of over 1000 miles, from the 14th to the 28th of July 2007.

To achieve this phenomenal challenge we will need to complete on average 75 miles per day, consume over 6000 calories a day, drink more than 5 litres of water a day and climb some of the steepest hills in England, Scotland and Wales, while completing all of this in the height of summer.

Imagine cycling from Taunton to Cardiff, over 7 hours of cycling, everyday for 14 days and carrying all of the supplies needed for the 2 week journey.

To make this challenge worthwhile we are raising funds for WaterAID and hope to raise in excess of £5000.

What is WaterAid?
WaterAid is an international charity dedicated exclusively to the provision of safe domestic water, sanitation and hygiene education to the world's poorest people. In the Western World we take safe, clean drinking water for granted but unfortunately there are millions of people in other parts of the World who don’t have access to it.
WaterAid works in partnership with local organisations in 15 countries in Africa and Asia to help poor communities establish sustainable water supplies and latrines, close to home. in 2003, WaterAid was named charity of the year at the Charity Times Awards. More information can be found here: www.wateraid.org.uk.
NB: We are keen to pick up any form of corporate advertising sponsorship for this mammoth ride for charity. If you are interested in sponsoring us this way please contact us through our website above. Corporate sponsors involved so far include: The eyewear company Nueu www.nueu.net.
