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 7 - To Cheddar Gorge












The lads sound very weary and depleted after today's slog...but promise us they WILL finish....Q's feet in 'agony' (placed in plastic bags by medics!) and Algy still suffering tummy bug - they have lost over a mile and a half an hour on average speeded given injuries/illness...energy levels are LOW!

Keep going boys - only two days left!

    keep going. Surely if England can manage a draw with Algreria you can peddle a bit further. Take the pain!

    Block out the pain and creatively visualise a glass of the finest wine, port or whatever makes you smile! Come on Boyes, you can do it!!! Keep those wheels turning to the end. Dunbars xxx
