7 of the team out for 16 miles at lunchtime. A nice leisurely pace and it stayed fair. The first proper team ride is done! Great to see some the guys breaking their new bikes and certain anatomical features!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A group of 12 of us from QinetiQ in Malvern are cycling 140 miles from Worth Matravers in Dorset back to Malvern to raise money for Help for Heroes. We're doing this on 23rd and 24th May 2012 to mark the 70th anniversary of radar research being moved from Dorset to Malvern.

The development of radar was one of the most significant technological developments made during World War II. The work of a handful of brilliant scientists and engineers back then played a pivotal role in equipping and supporting our service personnel carry out their brave and vital roles.

Our ride marks an historic event, a significant one for the town of Malvern as the start of its association with defence technology which continues to this day. At QinetiQ we remain proud of the support that we provide to our Armed Forces on the front line. And by undertaking this ride, we hope we can help improve the lives of some of our brave service personnel wounded in action.

Please give generously!
