My mates Gordon and Claire are going to work in Cambodia for two years through the charity Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO). To raise funds for their going, Gordon and I are going to cycle from one side of Scotland to the other...and back again over two days.

We'll leave from just north of Edinburgh (east coast) and finish on the west coast at Dumbarton. Then turn around and do it all over again for a total of 160 miles.

Gordon and Claire are great folk and going to be doing amazing work in Cambodia to improve education over there - only 1/3 of kids are in secondary school. It would fantastic if you were able to help me raise funds for this brilliant cause and it will help me keep going whilst we're cycling in the wind, rain, snow or whatever else Scotland throws at us on 29th and 30th January!

Thanks folks

Mike
