The Quest is in support of two Leicestershire charities,<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> LOROS </span></strong>Leicestershire & Rutland Hospice and <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">PROSTaid</span></strong>’s Prostate Cancer Palliative Care nurse working across the county to support men who are sadly at the end of their treatment journey.</span></p>

For this trip I will be joined by 3 colleagues (Mark Eaton, Howard Harris and Adrian Hill), supporting us along the route will be Henri Brouquet and Julian Thomas. The ride will start from the ITP site in Whetstone at mid-day on the 14th May 2011 and we expect to complete the journey over 11 days. If you'd like to follow our progress or learn more, please visit our blog at <a href="http://cyclebilbao.wordpress.com/">http://cyclebilbao.wordpress.com/</a>. During the ride we'll also post updates via Twitter @cyclebilbao</span></span></p>
