Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.
We've joined together to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research in the memory of our good friend Kevin Ford. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal
Five members of Bromley Lawn Tennis and Squash Club, who have all known Kevin for many years and played regular team squash with him, are cycling from Paris back to the Orpington/Bromley area on the 5th/6th and 7th September 2014. Altogether this is about 200 miles, give or take a few "Lost in France" moments.
Trip organiser and freedom pass holder: Chris Westcott
Kevin's brother and only regular cyclist: Brian Ford
Squash team captain, giant Mad Dog: Mark Winkless
Baby of the team, age and size: Gary Velvick
Training runs routemaster: Keith Palmer
Training consists of a few midweek runs, especially the Cudham Lane North Challenge, and a longer one, between 2 and 3 hours, on Sunday mornings, usually before the birds are up.
Sunday 10th August, the training run was a full 70 miler, from Orpington via Polhill, Otford, Wrotham, Aylesford, Lenham, Faversham, Seasalter, Whitstable, Herne Bay to Westgate ( next to the more famous Margate ). In pouring rain and a howling gale. 4 successfully completed, Mark took part "virtually" from his beach hotel in Turkey, and only 3 of the 4 riders actually crashed on the day.
