Gareth & Steve
Me and my mate Gareth are going to cycle from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in Scotland in aid of the Hertfordshire Air Ambulance. We're heading off on 22nd September this year and aim to complete the trip in around 17 days. This will be a record of our preparation, the successes, failures, people and incidents we encounter along the way. We'll be adding pictures as soon as we have them and updating the site regularly. We'll both be contributing to the story and we'd love to get feedback from you as the challenge unfolds. We only started training for this in the middle of June so time is not on our side.
We have also opened a site where you can make donations on-line at; www.justgiving.co.uk/epicbikeride
Some brief personal details;
