<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Late last year, after my sister had undergone surgery & radiotherapy for her illness, she asked me if I would do a sponsored "cycle ride" with her from London to Paris - "Yes of course" (how hard could this be - I do a bit of spinning & cycle now & again)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Since that time ......</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> Sue my wife volunteered ( she didn't want to miss the cold stella on the Champs Elysee on the last day). At this stage... neither of us realised it was 4 days cycling of 90/90/90/60 miles ! (make that grandes stellas?)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> - Sue and Jackie have bought "go-faster" bikes and there has been some interesting discussions about the relative merits of gel pads & "butt-cream" v's vaseline.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">- Queens College are holding fund-raising events, East Quay Medical Centre are doing like-wise</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">So there is no going back now - despite recieving the frightening training programme & looking at the hill profiles on the route map - aren't coastal areas supposed to be flat?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"> So as the winter gets colder & training opportunities become frosty ones, and we try to work out how to keep hands & feet from going white after rides we need spurring on so - <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>please sponsor us </em></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">ALL YOUR MONEY WILL GO TO CHARITY AS WE ARE FUNDING THE TRIP OURSELVES - PLEASE DONATE </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Thanks Jon & Sue</span></p>
