Spurred on by the epic efforts of the ladies in the office raising money for Cancer Research, by running 260km between them in the Race for Life! The boys have decided to go on a bike ride of equally epic proportions.

To do our bit for raising money for Cancer Research, we will be entering the Tour de France.

...well, one stage of it at least...from 2007...and it's not in France, but within the confines of our very own leafy isle, from the great city of London to the historic city of Canterbury!

Now taking on such a task might sound easy (a mere 50 miles as the crow flies), but that would not be befitting of a professional cyclist, so our pilgrimage will follow the Tour de France route, through 120 miles of up and down, left and right, through city and country to our destination at the foot of Canterbury Cathedral.

Our own ye olde pilgrimage will be setting off from Design Bridge on Friday 7 May at 9.00am, but in the meantime, please dig deep and donate plenty of money to a bloody good cause!
