<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">On 5th September this year, a 15-strong group of intrepid Lycra-clad chaps and chapesses will be cycling from the Swiss Alps all the way to sunny Norfolk &ndash; a good 790 miles.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">790 miles? On bikes? Are they bonkers? Well, probably. But it&rsquo;s all for a very good cause, a charity called Walking with the Wounded.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">All the money raised will go towards the reeducation and retraining of our wounded servicemen and women. A fine cause, we hope you&rsquo;ll agree.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">So, where do Tyrrells come into all this? Well, David Milner, our chief exec, and Mike Hedges, our sales director, will be joining the &lsquo;fun&rsquo; for the first two legs of the ride, a gruelling 150-mile journey through the Jura Mountains.</span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Both of our gallant cyclists are already in full training mode, making the most of the winding country roads near our Herefordshire farm. Although, as David has not ridden a bike since he was 18, there could still be a fair bit of work to do (gulp).</span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">So if you'd like to spur David and Mike on and raise some cash for an extremely worthy cause, you're in the right place.</span></span></span></span></p>
