My story

We did it! A ride report can be found on my website at www.scandrett.net - go and read it, and if you haven't given us any money, come back here and donate! Thank you very much!

On Friday July 17th a group of us from work will be doing a sponsored bike ride around the circumference(ish) of Manchester, following the M60(ish). It's simply a few of us trying to do 40 miles around the city on our bikes without dying! The rough route we'll probably be taking is this: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2778611

We're raising money for The Message Trust, for whom I've worked for several years now. For more information about the work we do, have a look at our website - http://www.message.org.uk/ - and from that you can view our promo videos and other videos on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/user/MessageTrust

If you would like to know more or to donate to The Message on a regular basis, please contact me. My email address is peter.scandrett @ the Message's domain above (message.org.uk).

Please do consider sponsoring me; the distance is just about achievable for me (I hope!) but will be quite an effort so I need some motivation :-) If you'd like to read about other bike rides I've done, visit my website - www.scandrett.net/bike (although I still need to update it with 2009's rides so far...).

Thanks very much for your support.

Peter

PS If you're not happy about sponsoring me for a faith based organisation, please consider sponsoring me for the RNLI (www.rnli.org.uk). Don't do that on this page - drop me an email. Thank you!
