As they helped him, I would like to help them by rising some money by doing a sponsored bike ride on Sunday 24th April 2011

I am going to ride my mountain bike from the north to south coast of Wales avoiding the road as much as possible. That will mean travelling off-road on various surfaces and up and down as many peaks as I can. The ride will take six days, cover 355km (220miles) and knock up 5770m (18,696 feet) of climbing. I reckon most of the route will be ok to ride however, I do suspect there will be some hiking on the bigge/steeper peaks. 

To put this into perspective, this is like going up Snowdon and then cycling a further 40km when you get down once a day for 6 days.

I will be joined by a friend, we will be travelling light without a support vehicle, staying at youth hostels and carry all the provisions we need. All the costs of the trip are covered by us so all the money you donate go the Bone Cancer research Trust.

The route:

Day 1 - Sun 24^th  - Rhyl to Llangollen – 65km (1045m of climbing)  -  http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/27798948

Thu 28^th – Dolgoch to Llandeusant – 48km (460m of climbing) - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/27871662

Fri 29^th – Llandeusant to Swansea – 52km (534 m of climbing) - http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/27872492

It seems that everybody knows somebody who has been affected by Cancer and knows the pain it causes.

Please give what you can it all helps!

Thanks,

Christian
