Story

<p>James Stephens, Rob Purdy and Kelvin Cheung have all done some pretty stupid things... sometimes by themselves, and more and more as a team.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Their latest poor decision is to venture up to Northern Scotland in the middle of winter, otherwise known as Mordor, Winter Nightmare, or just, well, Inverness.&nbsp; <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;q=Strathpeffer,+Highland+IV14+9,+United+Kingdom&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=23.622808,50.625&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;geocode=FQKmbgMdKKO6_w&amp;split=0&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Strathpeffer,+Highland,+United+Kingdom&amp;ll=57.580669,-4.542847&amp;spn=0.995411,3.164063&amp;z=8" target="_blank">Click here to see where it actually is</a>,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>What are these idiots doing up there.&nbsp; How about a 24 hour relay race on mountain bikes on a ice/snow racecourse.&nbsp; We'll be riding 8 hours each... in sub zero conditions, and oh, did we say, 17 hours of darkness?&nbsp; <a href="http://www.strathpuffer.co.uk/home" target="_blank">Here is the race website.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As silly as it is, we're doing it for a good cause, which is FoodCycle, a UK charity that brings together volunteers, surplus food and a free kitchen space to create nutritious meals for people affected by food poverty.&nbsp; Check them out at <a href="http://www.foodcycle.org.uk" target="_blank">www.foodcycle.org.uk </a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please sponsor us!&nbsp; We're doing stupid things, but we're doing stupid things for a good cause!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>(for those asking why it's not for FoodCycle, but for another charity, CIVA is a holding charity for FoodCycle's money as FoodCycle currently does not have a Justgiving account, but rest assure all the money is going to FoodCycle!)</p>
