To celebrate  Evans Jones 50th year we are raising money  for the fantastic  charity - Great Western Air Ambulance Charity - I will be riding along with a band of hardy cyclists are taking on a mighty challenge - cycling 300 miles (482km) in 3 consecutive days from our Cheltenham office to Bruges in Belgium.

In 2000 and again in 2011 I rode from Cheltenham to Paris - and now, 11 years on, it's time to don the lycra and get in the saddle once more!

In preparation for this ride I have also somehow manged to agree to ride from London to Paris at the beginning of September  ( A leisurely 460km over 4 days). 

Setting off from Evans Jones HQ in Cheltenham, the team of friends and colleagues will cycle 100 miles a day, culminating at the final destination in the beautiful city of Bruges. 

It’s support from people like you that allows the charity to keep the air ambulance going, and keep saving lives.So, if you can dig deep and help support the boys for a fantastic cause - we'd be so grateful.

Thank you Team EJ Big 50 About Great Western Air Ambulance Charity GWAAC saves lives across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset and parts of Wiltshire.

They provide emergency care to people who are in a state so critical that they require the specialist skills of our team at the scene of the accident or medical incident. Although part of the regional 999 response service and working closely with NHS hospitals, they are a charity entirely funded by local people just like you.

Thank you for your support
