Ride Update
12:44 Friday 12th September
I am back in the land of the long grey clouds. Slightly sore and the better for some rest. Now my part is done and it is over to you. Please do consider donating to this project. Diabetes wrecks havoc and this centre will help many many people to be treated and helped if we can raise enough funds. You can read more at the Stephanie Marks Appeal website and there is an article in this week's Surrey Herald as well. Thank you very much for your support. Ian Lynch

Success, after cycling over 70 miles today we have reached our destination, the Arc de Triomphe. Here I am fourth from the left, smiling as I have just come second in the sprint to the finish.
After three days, one of which was in the rain and the wind, steep hills, Paris road tunnels (cycled through navigational error) we had arrived, complete with our Ian Botham cricket bats that had come with us from Chertsey.
Thanks for all of you who continue to sponsor my cycle ride to help launch the new diabetic centre to help those in need. http://www.stephaniemarks.info/press65.htm

Well we made it to France and to our destination tonight of Rouen.
Last night the boat ride was not a comfortable sleep so not much was had, making today a little bit more difficult.
Tomorrow will be the longest day, but will be worth to be in Paris!
13:00 Thursday 4th September
So far we have riden 20 miles to just south of Aldershot and we are just about to stop for lunch.
The day started with a send off from Sir Ian Botham. We are carry one of his cricket bats all the way to Paris with the details of the fundraising.
My name is Ian Lynch and I work for the Happiness Project based in Chertsey. I am doing this ride as part of The Crown Chertsey's efforts to support this appeal.
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ashford And St Peter's Hospitals Charitable Fund - Stephanie Marks Appeal gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
