Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are intending to cycle the Coast to Coast route from Whitehaven to Sunderland (approx 140) miles in one day.
For those of you who know us and know our history of running (Gill has 25 years under her belt and Peter has 16) and know how much we enjoy extreme training - will also know that we will acheive our goal - mad by name, mad by nature !!!
This isnt one of those events where you have to raise a certain amount of money to gain entry nor is it an organised event - after a few years of injury ridden running we have turned to cycling and try and mix our training between the two disciplines - but we wanted to do something which came close to running the London marathon in terms of the feeling of satisfaction and acheivement so what could we do that was really hard - I know said Gill lets cycle the C2C, OK said Pete, in a day said Gill, you mad *** said Pete but OK let go for it .. so the training schedules came out and off we set building up from 40miles to 100 miles for our longest ride and clocking up to 200 miles a week - and no we havent won the lottery we're still going to work and looking after our 4 lovely attitude friendly teenagers !!!
you will have no doubt beleive we can achieve. We have been training hard, as you can imagine adn managed 100 miles from home (Hambleton - just outside of Blackpool) to Windermere in very windy conditions on Sunday 12th July - it was hard work but extremely excillerating evie this Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
