Story
This year the Rosslyn Park ladies team, The Slingbacks, take on the massive challenge of cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End in just 9 days. And to make it worse (but much cheaper!) we will be camping along the way instead of staying in a nice comfy bed!
I'm the crazy lass who came up with the idea of cycling the End2End and so am probably responsible for everyones sore bum! I'm a broker for BGC in Canary Wharf, London and am cycling to raise money for Spinal Research. I was a new girl this year at the Slingbacks and although due to a broken leg I never actually played much I did my best to support the team and club socially!!
I have always been a keen horse rider and now I ski and snowboard, along with all the cycling through hair raising London traffic so spinal injuries are something I have seen a few of. When I return from the E2E I have 5 days rest before I take on the ToughGuy Nettle Warrior challenge with another team of crazy loons. I will be riding Baby, my Specialized who inspired this ride by last year taking me from Peckham to Norfolk in a day, 138miles, and sparking my love for long distance cycling.
I assure you I will make it to the end and within our 9 day limit as I have to get back to work! Any donation you can make is much appreciated and will help to drive me on to finish this crazy ride, and in style!

Feel free to leave words of encouragement or description of our folly! Anything to raise a smile on our tired faces!
