Little acorns to bigger chestnuts
What started in my head as an idea to see a bit of the countryside and raise some funds for charity, after a few beers expanded somewhat, to lets see all of the country and raise a bit more! As a complete novice cyclist, I am going from "hey I've just cycled into Chichester - that's a whole inch on the map", to discovering the wonders of lycra, vaseline and tyre levers! I shall hopefully be wobbling my way from one end of the country to the other in June, and would be very grateful for your support.
By the way - special mystery prize (all the way from John O Groats) for best guess at actual number of miles cycled.
Thanks,
Nick
