Our personal message:

Cheer up the Grumpy Old Geezers!

As one of our group is just about to hit his half century and some of us are already there, we decided we needed a challenge.We are therefore taking part in the Marie Curie Cancer Care Bike The Baltic Cycling Challenge. Our leg covers over 600km from Warsaw to Vilnius! What better way than to raise money for a great cause and at the same time discover some of those long forgotten muscles.

Please put a smile on the Grumpy Old Geezers faces and at the same time help all those that benefit from the fantastic work carried out by MARIE CURIE CANCER CARE.
