Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It started with The Grumpy Landlord telling me that the Queen Adelaide Team was going to ride Coast 2 Coast in September 2013 - I said, "That sounds like a fun idea."  The next day I received an email informing me that I was part of the team and I had better get a bike.

That was in September 2012 - a long time ago and I have spectacularly failed to do any significant training on the bike, in the last 11 months! 

The route is 140 miles long and crosses the Lake District and the Pennines with some challenging climbs reaching up to 2000 feet at the highest point. We aim to finish in 2 and a half days.

I just hope that there is enough room in the team bus for my personal supply of vaseline and talcum powder in our red box that we are allow to take with us.
