Story

Who would believe it...............................on 6th September, Kingsley, Trevor, Neil, Raj, Pete and Jim embarked on a 1000 mile bike ride from Calais to Barcelona

Clad in lycra that shouldn't  really be worn by men over 30,  our 2 week Tour De France/Spain took us from the Landing Beaches through the Central Massiff, over the Pyrenees and into Barcelona for High Tea.

Our goal is to raise £20,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and the Dorothy House Hospice in Bath.

Both charities have great personal relevance to the Team members and any donation that you can make  will immeasuarbly enhance the quality of life of those fighting cancer or coming to terms with a terminal illness. 

We all consider ourselves fortunate to have been able to complete this ride and averaged 80 miles a day for 2 weeks to acheive our goal.  Any support you can provide will be most appreciated by us and more importantly our chosen charities.  

Thanks for your support.

Neil, Kingsley, Trevor, Jim, Raj, Pete
