My story

 

***UPDATE***

Hi all! So we completed the trip as planned! All went fantastically well, stuck to the 5 days and managed to maintain an average speed of ~ 15mph. We're all really pleased with the result, and how much money has been raised so far.

The website will remain up for some time, so do spread the word to anyone who may be interested in contributing to the cause.

Many thanks to all again.

Hi people. Myself, Mike & Dave are about to embark upon a perilous journey, frought with demons and beasts, with dungeons and castles, trolls, dragons and...................Scots? Yup, you got it, were cycling from London to Edinburgh, in 5 days! Doing it to raise some moolah for a fantastic charity called Treehouse (see below for details), and for the sheer comic value of it. Plan is to leave on the 26th and arrive on the 30th, a good 725km away. Yikes!

Thanks Alby. Please, dig deep and donate now! Life is measured by donation, not duration!

Big love, and thanks to all.
