<p>Proof: <a href="http://on.fb.me/moyopic">http://on.fb.me/moyopic</a> (photos) and <a href="http://on.fb.me/moyovid">http://on.fb.me/moyovid</a> (videos)</p> <p>Why did we do this? 3 reasons:</p> <p>1. It's for a good cause - eradicating <a title="obstetric fistula - WHO" href="http://bit.ly/jzpGyf">obstetric fistula</a> in Tanzania by 2016. Every &pound;1 we raise will be matched by &pound;2 by Vodafone. Woop!</p> <p>2. Music Team went a bit insane over the summer...</p> <p>3. Caroline had a dream. Seriously...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I woke up thinking I'd space hopper-ed to Brighton and it's been on my mind ever since."<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>So the plan: </strong></p> <p>Grab an assortment of random "vehicles" &amp; make our way along the traditional London to Brighton bike ride route. 54 miles... Oof!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Music Team Whacky Racers</strong></span></p> <p><strong>Caroline</strong>: <em><span style="color: #333399;">Space Hopper</span></em>&nbsp;&nbsp; Taking two hoppers and a puncture repair kit + gaffer tape.
