Madness!!!
Back in February ,some bright spark thought it would be 'a laugh' to cycle 170 miles in 3 days from Morecambe, through the Lakes and North Yorkshire to the East coast for charity.
After putting it off for months, I started training last week and now with 2 weeks to go before the start of the ride , I can confidently state that I have racked up over 20 miles on the bike and a considerable amount of localised chaffing!!
Impressive stuff eh!!
The 8 of the 9 man team from Conlon Construction ,men of all different shapes sizes and abilities , have been putting themselves through hell over the last few months with harsh training regimes and strict diet plans. Some of the team haven't had a beer or curry since last Saturday!!
Athletes-one and all I think you'll agree
The aim is to have a laugh, a few beers, raise a few quid and still have use of everything below the waist by Sunday 22nd June.

Our chosen charity, The Rosemere Foundation, are a well-deserving local charity that help cancer sufferers throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.
I think everyone has a story about a family member or friend that has needed treatment for some cancer or other.
Times are hard but please give what you can.
Thanks very much
Shaun
