Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Further info will appear at the coast2coast website including updates on our progress in training and the event itself.

Last summer we cycled from Beverley to the Cropton brewery in North Yorkshire, it damn near killed us but we made it. A moderate 50 or so miles might be easy for more proficient cyclists. Essentially our challenges are real enough to us as we are two unfit idiots on bikes who are daft enough to push ourselves as far as we can go in the name of challenge and adventure.

This year a representative of Macmillan visited one of Adams's classes to give a talk on their charity's activities and attempted to use this opportunity to persuade him to run in a 10k event. He shuddered at the thought of running further than the end of his street and proclaimed he doesn't do running but will cycle any length of distance... and that was the beginning.

Mark is always more than willing to be involved in such madcap and usually spontaneously agreed schemes; cycling the Transpennine route has been in the back of their minds for a while and doing this for charity gives them the concrete boundaries to ensure this comes to fruition.

So in July 2013 the pair are cycling the Transpennine Trail in hopefully 3 days to raise as much money as they can for charity. 

Please be as generous as you can and thanks for your wishes and support.
