We will cycle between Addenbrooke’s and the Satellite Dialysis Units in Bury St Edmunds, King’s Lynn and Huntingdon.  The whole route is roughly 150 miles, but breaks down into 4 sections over two days:

Day 1:

•  Addenbrooke's to Bury St Edmunds (approx 35 miles)

•  Bury St Edmunds to King's Lynn (approx 40 miles)

Day 2:

•  King's Lynn to Hinchingbrooke (approx 50 miles)

•  Hinchingbrooke to Addenbrooke's (approx 25 miles).

The goal is completion rather than a specific time.  It is likely to be 5-6hrs in the saddle each day (as we'll doubtless get lost a couple of times in the wilds of Cambridgeshire, which all look like the photo...).

A 'standard' dialysis session is 4hrs, so we should be able to get from unit-to-unit within a session, highlighting the time commitment our patients make to their own care.

We are a mixed peloton in every sense - carbon, steel; disc, rim; amateur, UK international; patients, staff, relatives.  But will all have 2 wheels and look bad in lycra.

Thanks for your generosity.
