Watching the Heineken Cup Final at Salisbury RFC last May Tonger mentioned that he was looking for his next cycling challenge and that he wanted it to be in .  The venerable Wingco challenged him to cycle to ’s twin town, Saintes, and with some beer being enjoyed during the match, by the final whistle BFG and Gaulty had signed up.  The Rat was sounded out, signed up, Jeremy followed suit and “the ride” was on!  Murls and Denis were both caught at weak moments and here we are…..did anyone own a bike?

Meetings were held, maps perused, sanity questioned, the lack of bicycles addressed, a driver, Kerry, and a van arranged, and a training schedule devised and soundly ignored; except for the pub stop, purely for rehydration you understand!!

Most importantly it was decided that if seven blokes, all past the first flush of youth, of receding hair and increasing girth, were to attempt this sort of venture, 400 miles approximately, then somebody should benefit.  That somebody is The Salisbury District Hospital Stars Appeal and specifically their Caring 4 Kids initiative:

Please give us all the support you are able!  We are not doing this purely to indulge BFG’s desire to dress from top to toe in Lycra or to get away from our wives, girl friends and mistresses for a week.  Please help us to reach our target.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Tonger, The Rat, Murls, Gaulty, BFG, Denis, Jeremy and Kerry (when will they get nicknames?)
