When two became three. So, through borrowing my mum's bike we were joined by our good friend Raven for the London Sky Ride. Starting in Camden,we cycled down the Strand. From there we joined the course, travelling East. On reaching St Pauls and Tower Hill we continued West towards Buckingham palace and then went off the route to visit the Tate Britain. We then did another loop of the course and finally made our way back via Regents Street, and then followed the canal path back to Camden. By the end of the day we had travelled 28 miles. Not quite the 30 we had hoped but our legs still felt it. Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us so far, but any extra last minute donations won't go amiss.

We decided to choose the British Red Cross as they help those in need both at home (such as helping those recovering from illness) and abroad (such as the recent crisis in Pakistan).

Whist we use our legs to cycle round London we'd love for you to donate a little something to a good cause. Be it just 50p or 50 million pounds, please do give what you can. Drink one less pint and donate £3. Walk instead of the bus and donate £1. Eat 50 less penny sweets and donate 50p (and of course if for some reason you are really really rich please donate lots). You get the idea.

A blog from our day will be available at http://www.thoughtsandcrosses.blogspot.com/.

Thank you for your potential donation.
