The Great Bakery Bike Ride, in aid of the Greggs Foundation and BBC Children in Need Appeal

Between June 17 and June 27 2010, the Greggs operating board is taking on a mammoth challenge, to cycle between each of the Greggs bakeries, a gruelling total of 900 miles. Each member of the operating board will take part in at least one stage of the course to raise money for the Greggs Foundation Breakfast Club Scheme and BBC Children in Need Appeal.

"For a man of my age, I consider myself quite proficient on a bike.  I have already achieved the "precarious wobbler" certificate!  I nearly fell over when I learned of the plan and was reminded of Mark Twain's advice: "Get a bike.  You will not regret it.....if you live!"
