I won’t be riding alone as I will be joining about 25 other riders all hoping to do the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will be supported on our ride by a firm called Peak Tours who are based in Glossop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will act as guide for our group and also move our luggage between various B&Bs, leaving us free to concentrate on the riding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be a tough challenge for me because at the ripe old age of 59 years old I feel my better cycling days are now behind me, and although I am doing my best to be as fit as I can, I know that I can’t<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>underestimate how hard this will be.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I have decided to try and raise money for the Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre, and all proceeds will go to them. To send a child on holiday for a week costs about £330.00, and if I can raise £1000.00 that should be enough for 3 disadvantaged children to spend some quality time at the sea side. I hope you can support me on this worthwhile adventure and make a donation to me care of ‘Just giving’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in anticipation for all generous donations given.</span></p>
