Over the past 3 years the same group of guys (of which I'm a member) have been getting together, riding our bikes and as well as enjoying the company of our like minded selves we have raised money for charity. This time it is in memory of one of our original members  - John Howson.

I first met John on our trip from London to Liverpool, he had worked with my wife and I knew he was a keen cyclist. He struck me as someone very capable and confident. He was always happy to give advise and back then I was pretty new to cycling - so I needed a lot.

Unfortunately John lost his short battle with Cancer at the young age of 51 and we are all making this trip to help raise some money for the hospital that cared for him and of course to remember his life.

Any help is really appreciated. Cheers, Neil

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
