Monday 21st May 2012 will be the day that we both set off on our bike ride Vodafone in Stoke-on-Trent, with our destination being Paris just 3 days later. This ride will be the single biggest challenge that either of us have faced, and involves a gruelling first day ride to Swindon (125 miles) and a second day journey to Portsmouth. Once in Portsmouth we'll then have the pleasure of a poor sleep on a ferry across the channel before doing our last day of riding from Le Harvre to Paris (another +120 miles).</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">Neither of us are keen cyclists, but we are training hard, and paying for all of our own expenses so that we can raise as much money as possible for St Luke's (Cheshire) Hospice that my friend and John's brother Paul Harding was so fond of.<br></span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">If you've already donated, thank you (feel free to do it again!), and if you haven't, every ound helps.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff;">Update... The bungee jump off the Transporter Bridge went smoothly, and thanks to Gemma &amp; Craig for coming along to keep us company. It was probably the coldest experience of our lives with freezing temperates coupled with sleet, but the photo's are up for all to see.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
