Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I had planned to do this alone but it's more sociable and motivating with a group. At 1040 miles it's a bit further than going the main road way, but safer and more interesting, and I want to support the further development of cycling infrastructure in this country. Sustrans helps to make cycling safer and more popular. Making more journeys by bike reduces car use and the need for damaging road-building. Separating bikes from cars is good for cyclists and car-users too.

This is partly to celebrate my reaching 65. I know I can do 80 miles in a day, but can I do 60 to 85 miles for 16 consecutive days? Watch my Facebook page between 27 June and 14 July and find out.
