Thanks for visiting the Mid Life Cyclists Just Giving site.
About the Mid Life Cyclists Challenge
We are a group of 5 professionals who wanted to do something big for a good cause, without running a marathon.
The Mid Life Cyclists challenge will take in over 850 miles cycling from Santander's office in London to Santander's head office in Northern Spain, over 10 days from 19 May 2010.
Cycling 100 miles is the equivalent of running a marathon - so our little trip on wheels is the equivalent of about 8 marathons and that's if we don't get lost!
About us
- Ben Thompson is Director, Mortgages at Legal & General and is the brainchild of the challenge.

Who are we supporting?
We are putting ourselves through this challenge because between us we want to raise money for two very worthwhile charities, Shelter and Rethink.
Rethink is the leading national mental health charity that specialises in helping everyone affected by severe mental illness. 1 in 4 people will be affected by a mental health problem this year and your support will go to a very worthy cause. Funds raised will go towards supporting those that are unwell as well as paying for the lobbying of government and local authorities in terms of support offered to those unwell. There is also a National Advice Service (telephone) that ensures people have access to vital advice, information and advocacy at all times.
