On the 2nd September 2010, 5 amateur cyclists rode 450 miles from Edinburgh to Lightwater Village in Surrey in just 3 days. The journey took us through the steepest climbs in . The longest day riding some 175 miles, (the longest stage of the ‘Tour de France’ is 120 miles), with 10,000 feet of climbing that came at the 130 mile mark! The purpose of the ride was to raise funds to continue to find greater ways of beating Cancer. As such we nominated Cancer Research as our chosen charity, in addition to 'Christophers Smile' http://www.christopherssmile.org.uk/ - which you can also donate to at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/GerhardEickermann
The riders were be met by the Charity representatives of Christophers Smile at the finish line, where local newspapers and local businesses turned out to support this worthy cause, along with a good chunk of the local population.
I would also like to make a massive mention and thank you on behalf of the team to Lucy Krigstein and Courtney Cook for their fantastic support vehicle services, their tremendous sense of humour and keeping the team spirits alive during some of the hardest times any of us have ever endured. You are both amazing and this achievement would not have been possible without you both!!
