With only a week to got to the epic ride we have surpassed our £20.000 target and are still counting. Many many thanks to everyone that has sponsored us over the last 12 weeks, it is a terrific boost to the team, especially as the magnitude of the trip draws nearer. We are all extremely excited about the ride and have all our plans in place from the detailed route through to back up drivers, completely nailed down!

Cheers, Jez, Patrick, Gary and Simon.
