A group of normal, confused, middle-aged men & women, from Manchester, UK are riding from Bordeaux to Paris in order to raise awareness for the charity CLIMB – the UK's only dedicated organisation to provide information and support on all metabolic diseases to children, adults, families, carers and professionals.
None of us have any regular experience cycling any great distances. We had never cycled together before, never trained before & never really fixed a bike. In fact, some have only just got bikes!
Having
succesfully reached Berlin in various states of collapse, we are riding from Bordeaux to Paris between 8th-13th August 2010
and would like to give you the opportunity to be a part of that by
donating to charity along the way.
Our website (www.midlifecyclists.org) is a central point for us to communicate with each other and share experiences, tips & advice. We will be leaving updates as to our progress, as a group and as individuals, so feel free to visit our site regularly. If you also find it of use or have any advice, encouragement or would be interested in sponsoring our efforts, then please feel free to leave a comment in the guest book.
In the meantime - Happy Cycling...
