Story
So last year, a few of us cycled round all 33 London Boroughs in 1 day to raise money for Crohns and Colitis. It was pretty challenging, but very good fun and we raised nearly £1500 for the charity.
This year we're doing it again, and there'll be even more of us (I know it says "I'm" at the top there - ignore that). This year's ride is all the more poignant as we're raising money in memory of the unforgettable and irreplaceable Jim Fletcher, who passed away last May.
Jim meant a huge amount to everyone who knew him, and I was lucky enough to have him as a friend since secondary school. His humour, generosity, kindness, intimate knowledge of Cricket and Rugby and cooking skills will be missed by us all. Last year's ride was in fact the last time I saw Jim up and about before he went into hospital, when he provided us all with much needed sustenance about 1/2 way round the route.
We're riding on Saturday the 21st April, and the route is more than 100 miles, around everything London has to offer, from grotty industrial estates to canal tow paths, from Tourist Attractions to unknown back streets. We'll be finishing up at The Feathers in Westminster some time after 4, so do come and join us to see us over the finishing line.
And please, donate what you can!
