A bunch of fat lads from TGA Consulting Engineers have decided, during a moment of temporary insanity to take on the the coast to coast challenge riding 150 miles from Whitehaven to Tynemouth all in aid of Cancer Research.

We are all ages and abilities, some are still using stabilisers and one or two have had to trade in their penny farthings for a mountain bike just to take part. So don't under estimate the magnitude of this endeavour. Our previous fitness regime consisted of walking to and from the Rivergreen cafe for bacon butties and flap jacks - a gruelling 30 metres there and back.

We can guarantee that every penny you donate to this fantastic cause will be matched in drops of sweat from the Coast to Coast team at Rivergreen.

Dig deep we're relying on you.
