Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday 7th June 2014 I'm attempting to complete the longest bike ride of my life - 103 miles.

I'll be joining 4 other riders - Gordon Roy, Michael Cook, Geoff Todd and Robin McLellan - who equally need their heads examined, and extra padded seats!

The Tour de Forth ride is from Balfron High School to Bo'ness Academy. But instead of going the direct route east (37 miles), we'll be taking in all 21 secondary schools in the Forth Valley region - 103 miles.   

The plan is to start at Balfron High at 8am and head for Callander (longest leg of the day), Dunblane, Bridge of Allan and round Stirling before crossing the River Forth (for the third time) and taking in Clackmannanshire’s four schools.  The independent schools are included too. The second longest leg of the day is from Dollar back across the Forth and up to Larbert HS. From Larbert we head east to Denny, then double back to the four high schools in Falkirk itself, down the hill to Grangemouth and along the coast to Bo’ness.

I'm doing this cycle to raise funds for Scripture Union Scotland - Forth Valley region.  They do a great work in schools and running holidays and camps for kids of all ages.

Your support would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks, David
