As some of you may know Quentin has embarked on a bike ride across Britain - starting at John O' Groats this morning and finishing (we hope!) at Lands End on Sunday 20th June – some 1000 odd miles and 72k foot of climb - a desperate attempt to lose weight, fight off old age and calm down his mid life crisis (and possibly avoid the start of the world cup, not to mention childcare!)

Needless to say any money he can raise in the process is a benefit so begging cap in hand...
He is a Trustee of a charity called Access Sport (www.accesssport.co.uk) which helps take kids off the streets through funding community sports clubs so that is one cause we'd like you to help and the other is a charity called Woodland Trust (www.woodlandtrust.org.uk ) which he has selected to remember 2 very good friends of ours who died last year, before their time, and thought it would be nice to have some permanent reminders of their lives out there in the countryside.
So the choice is yours, either are great causes and you can get some sense of perverse pleasure thinking about the damage to his backside that the whole event is going to cause...

Thanks a lot for your support.

Day 8 - Cheddar Gorge to Launceston












Quote of the day "Anything is preferable to this!"

All riders comment that this has been the HARDEST , MOST GRUELING of days - the energy levels are low and the hills are high and frankly no one seems to see any joy in it any more 0 even though when this is done only one more day to go. Q now picked-up the tummy bug - puking and more, all night - projectile by all accounts - great start, therefore to the day!

Come on boys - really only one more day to go!

Final quote of the day "11h 15 min and 115 miles later with a improptu poo with a herd of heffers we have arrived! Toughest day yet - did a box of ibuprofen half a pack of motillium and a whole box of immodium - what athletes!"
