On Saturday, the four Whitcombes attempt this year's cycling challenge. Last year we so enjoyed Lands End to John O'Groats, that this year we're thinking BIG. We will be doing as close to the full distance of the 3 week Tour De France - in one day. We will be one of a number of teams cycling on static Watt bikes, ticking off the kilometres - on the flat.

Training has been spasmodic. Including Joe preparing by spending a year at University and Ben having kidney surgery. What the heck, it's all for a good cause and we're happy and proud to torture ourselves for The Joshua Tree, raising funds to build a holiday home for children with cancer.
