Hello generous supporters! We are cycling regularly now, my cycling being much aided by acquiring a lovely road bike from John and Steve at Uttoxeter Cycles https://www.uttoxetercycles.com/. It has surprised me immensely how much of a difference riding a decent road bike makes to one's ability to cover miles swiftly. I'm having a break in the sunshine for a week or so very soon but will be back on my bike, now equipped with mudguards and a new cycle computer, as soon a we're back. Thank you for your support and faith in us. Dave.

Hi all, Due to an error in setting up this Just Giving page (which was created as a crowd-funding page and not a charity even page) we now have a new charity event page. You can see this at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dave-thomas44 We shall transfer your kind donations to the new page and internalise your good wishes and encouragement. Thank you. Alan and Dave.

We're busy getting fit at the minute!
