During the May Bank Holiday weekend 2010, the Soar Centurions will be cycling the route of , covering 175 miles as it crosses from the to the ,... they fully expect to be very Sore Centurions by the end!

The aim of this two and a half day cycle challenge is to raise money for Rainbows Children's Hospice in Loughborough and the Nottinghamshire Hospice – both of which are dedicated to providing the best possible palliative care for life limited people and their families.

 If not refer the reader to the links on the Left hand side of the page for more info.

Anything you can donate to these worthy hospices through sponsorship of our cycle challenge will be greatly appreciated.

The Soar Centurions are Dave Baker, Justin Sorby, Laurence Burke and Chris White and with an average age north of 40 you could be forgiven for thinking this is a sign of four mid-life crises!  But not only does this event promise to test the endurance of four people in possession of just three good knees between them, it will also throw down an equally tough test of their ability to tolerate each other’s company over three long days and nights.  This aspect of the event is going to be particularly challenging for Chris and Dave, who will be happy to accept your sponsorship money for combining the stiffest hill climbs with their possible world record attempt for non-stop bickering.  The successful completion of this world record attempt is only likely to be hampered by Justin or Laurence pushing one or both of them off the highest peak.

Once again please consider giving generously... if we raise enough money we will attempt the whole ride dressed as Roman soldiers.  The chaffing doesn’t bare thinking about!

And we will publish the pictures!!!!!!!
