They call it the 'Cycle India Challenge' - with good reason! 500km in 6 days, through the heart of Rajasthan on narrow dirt roads full of potholes in 25-30C temperatures. From 8.30am start until sunset at 5.30pm and camping for three days of the six nights. The material for this trip comes with a set of health warnings and a training schedule which I've been following although I doubt that anything could prepare such an unathletic person for what is in store!

I want to raise the money to provide a bursary for one of our 32 players next year and to have a bit spare to go into our new endowment fund, so PLEASE do contribute, it will be hugely appreciated.
