Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Being the gullible type, I have been cajoled into taking part in "Nightrider" a 100km (62 Miles in old money) bike ride around London - In the middle of the night. http://www.classictours.co.uk/Challenges/OpenChallenge.aspx?ChallengeID=755

I have just bought a bike and I'm riding about for the first time in 23 years!! Now I have 3 months to get fit and start clocking up some serious mileage.

Starting at Crystal Palace in south east London at about 11pm,  Myself (and 199 other riders)  will set off on this 100km circular ride arriving back at Crystal Palace at some point on Sunday morning - hopefully not in an ambulance.

I'm raising money for the Battery Hen Welfare Trust who strive to improve the life and also re-home battery/cage hens.   As a hen keeper myself, this is a cause close to my heart.

This site has some more info http://www.ckcbirds.co.uk/batteryhens.htm.

 £500 will buy a large hen house for the Trust to keep some rescued girls in - help me reach that target,

So that money you were going to spend on those Cadburys Creme Egg filled with battery farmed egg goo you can now donate to me instead!

Thanks in advance for your support

Nick
