My story
Updated on Jun 12th 2010 at 5:19 PM using the JustGiving iPhone app
Over 230 miles now done, we've turned the corner and we're now coming back down the east coast
Updated on Jun 11th 2010 at 8:13 AM using the JustGiving iPhone app
Over 130 miles now completed, we're cycling accross the top of Scotland for the next two days
Updated on Jun 9th 2010 at 9:38 AM using the JustGiving iPhone app
Two days and 60miles down, 43 miles to do today!
Update - We've now completed the first days riding and we'd already achieved our initial target of £250 sponsorship, so we've raised it to £400!As I've got steadily less and less fit over the last ten years, I decided I needed to set myself a big challenge and I roped my Dad in to.
We're going to cycle round the North coast of Scotland, from Gairloch to Cape Wrath to John O Groats to Strathpeffer. Exact route will be posted shortly, but it will be a total of over 400 miles. And then we're going to finish by cycling up the Bealach na Ba, the second-greatest ascent of any road climb in the UK, rising from Applecross at sea level to 626 metres!
We start on the 7th June. Keep up to date with our progress on our blog.
But to make sure I actually do it, and don't chicken out at the last minute, I thought I ought to make sure I benefit someone other than ourselves, I'm director of a Five of Hearts, a Birmingham fundraising group that raises funds for five amazing Birmingham-based charities to assist them improve the quality of life of over 400,000 local service users. I also do a lot of work Prospects a christian charity working accross the UK with adults with learning disabilities.
So if you want to give us a bit of extra impetus, why not sponsor us!

I would love to be able to join you on the ride but apart from a few things like my fitness, I would spend more time taking photographs than cycling.
