<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As you may be aware, thanks to Will and Kate, there is the opportunity for extended ‘holiday’ this coming Easter. We have decided to make the most of this, and go adventuring.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For this, a team of eight, are cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End, a (not so) casual 907 mile jaunt through the British countryside. <em><span style="font-style: italic;">Most people</span></em> do the route the other way round, but it was deemed that due to the UK’s prevailing south-westerly winds from astern this would be too easy and we’d prefer to take the breeze head on. <em><span style="font-style: italic;">Most people</span></em> also complete the trip in around 14 days, again this was seen as too laid-back, so we’re going to do it in nearly half the time. To make it just a little bit harder we are doing it unsupported that means carrying all our food kit and water all the way from the top to the bottom. This means an agonising 114miles, or an anticipated 10 hours, a day in the saddle for just over a week, aiming to arrive sore but jubilant at the tip of Cornwall on April 29<sup>th</sup>.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now this isn’t a plea, nor a request, nor a sob story, but we have chosen to support Cancer Research, a well know charity.</span></span></p>
