We Did It! 11 brave souls aged from 12 to old slogged up the Derwent Walk, over the lumpy bits to the Youth Village, had lunch and after cresting the "Killer Hill" (Blackhill Bank, those who know it, all of us pushed some of it!) practically coasted back down to Swalwell fueled by happy thoughts and a great team spirit. 25 miles was a fantastic achievement, especially for the less experienced (and those on tiny bicycles), so we really deserve your support for a great cause. Photos coming soon- so check back regularly!

The SVP is doing essential work in the Sudan with refugees. They run 2 mobile medical centres and a baby feeding programme, as well as work with street children and an educational project. We chose this cause because we really believe in it, so please give generously. Patrick, who's organising the ride, hasn't told us yet about the rather big hill right at the end, so we really need some financial backing otherwise we'll never pedal over it!
