Story
Phil & Steve's Big Cycle - Land's End to John O'Groats
Also go to: www.philandstevesbigcycle.co.uk - to see our progress
After a few smaller cycles (Guildford to Brighton, The Devon Coast to Coast & Whitehaven to Newcastle sea to sea (The C2C)), we've decided to dive straight into the deep end and take on the Daddy of all UK pedals - End to End, The Land's End to John O'Groats (LEJOG) cycle.
1000 miles in the saddle, with only some Lycra and a little bit of padding for comfort!!!
We've set a date of heading off from the far bottom tip of the country in Cornwall on Monday 11th August this year, peddling north up through the country and finally arriving at the very top tip of the mainland in Scotland sometime later!!!
Just to note, we're doing this ride with no support - so no van or car following us, so everything we need to take with us, we carry on the bikes.
If we're doing this mad attempt at cycling the length of the country, we thought we'd raise some money for charity. So we sat down and went through the options of who we could raise money for. The list is almost endless - with all of us knowing someone who has been affected in some way by something. But we've finally chosen 2 charities that we're raising for (even though this page only shows one charity logo!).
They are:
NACC - The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease. Phil's nephew Aiden and a few of our close friends suffer from Crohn's Disease. It's a horrible condition and one that stays with you all your life with no real cure. So the funds raised will help to improve the quality of life for sufferers.
MIND - the leading mental health charity. They work to create a better life for everyone experiencing mental health problems. One in four of us will experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives and the money raised will help MIND help those that need support at those times.
The money raised will be split 50/50 between the two charities. So please give what you can and think of us pedaling our way up the country! Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: NACC & MIND will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
