Big Challenge in Progress!!
See updates below.
Training has being going well and we have already had some adventures along the way-cycling at Manchester Velodrome, meeting and being inspired by the UK Youth Cycling race team at Durham in the Halfords Tour Series, and some of our cyclists have been racing at Croft and taking part in Cyclosportives.
Thanks to all our sponsors who have helped us so far. We are all excited about the Ride and remain committed to raising as much money as we can for St Teresa’s Hospice.
Please get behind these young riders and help them achieve this, as they have given up their Saturdays for the last 2 years come rain or shine to pedal miles to get fit for this Epic ride. There are not many adults who could ride from one end of their Country to the other, but these Teenagers are chomping at the bit to get going!
In 2009 a group of students from Hummersknott School cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats and raised £5,600 for St.Teresa's Hospice. They inspired so many young people from their school that in 2010, Hummersknott Cycle Club was formed. The club consists of both boys and girls aged 13 to 16. We are out training every weekend in all weathers. After the Christmas break we are all eager to get back on our bikes and 'up' the Training ready for July.
In 2012, the year that Great Britain hosts the Olympic Games, we have set ourselves the huge challenge of cycling the length of our Country -1000miles, from Lands End to John O'Groats.
We have again chosen to support our local hospice, St.Teresa's as they have just had their 25th Anniversary. They provide care and support to patients and their families whilst at the Hospice or in their own homes.
Please give generously to help the Hospice carry on their wonderful work within our community.
Your donations will spur us on as we tackle the hills of Great Britain!
Thank you,
Hummersknott Cycle Club.
