Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our page.

Mark and Andrew are school friends that have known each other for over 30 years. Their story / motivation is quite simple really, they just want a Proper Challenge!

Last August at the Swan Inn in Sidmouth, after a few glasses of ale and a bit of moaning about how much it sucks to be over 40, we decided to undertake the classic 'end-to-end' cycle challenge, in just 8 days! (originally we thought 3 days...)

Our cycle training started amidst the freezing wind, rain and frost of February, which continued into March and April! We are now in the middle of our more intense 3 month training schedule, where we need to be riding between 150 - 200 miles a week (whilst working full time jobs and juggling family responsibilities). The hard work and training to date has helped us to achieve our first 100+ mile ride 14-05-16.

Thanks you very much for reading this and we hope you will give a donation to a very special charity; Children's Hospice South West and help motivate us as our challenge is now very real and getting closer every day... 

Our adventure begins on 8th July 2016.
