Where:
Its Bordeaux again. Last year's cycle to Bordeaux proved such a hit we are doing it
again. Only with more hills of course, better views and more stops at
Calvados and Cider farms.
When:
Thursday 27th May 2010 - Tuesday 1st June 2010
Day 1: Bristol to Portsmouth
Day 2: Saint Malo to Saint Nazaire
Day 3: Saint Nazaire to La Rochelle
Day 4: La Rochelle to Bordeaux
How:
Fuelled by millions of bananas, bottles of lucozade and the odd yard of
ale we will power our way 100-120 miles a day along a route all the way to Bordeaux. All the way to Bordeaux
I say! Do you know how far that is? We will be going all that way on
just our bicycles. All the way to Bordeaux.
Why:
For the third year runnign I am doing something in support of young people with special needs. All monies raised will
go towards PROPS run projects aimed at forging vocational and leisure
relationships for the youngsters. More details here: http://www.propsforward.co.uk/
The Skinny:
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your

unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to
the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible
donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I
raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
