What started as a little after dinner conversation has now developed into the three of us committing to cycling the 380kms in Cuba , maybe it was too much wine !! but if the truth be known the charity is well worth the hours of training in the gym and on the bike that will be ESSENTIAL for us to meet this challenge .I KNOW we will succeed in the physical side , Its the sponsorship side where we need your help , our challenging target of £9000 means all of your donations will be much appreciated , here is an overview of the charity , im sure you will agree that its more than worth a " numb bum "
