Me and a couple of friends have decided to cycle between the two twin towns of Spalding in Lincolnshire to Speyer in Germany.  We want to raise money for kids not as fortunate as our own. Hopes and Homes want to move kids from large state institutions into small family units. This is a trip of some 600 miles, (depending on how often we get lost!) To make this effort worthwhile we would be very grateful for a small donation.  Just a few quid, whatever you can afford -  the price of a pint, or cost of a bag of chips - would be very well received and goes a little way to making the early morning rides in the rain of a British spring and our old stiffening joints seem a little more bearable.
