Unfit, unprepared and a little bit scared. Hello and thank you very much for visiting our Coast to Coast JustGiving page. On May 23rd we will embark on a tricky ride from St Bees, which will hopefully take us to Robin Hoods Bay by the 25th.

We wanted to help Bridge2Aid and deemed this a sufficiently painful challenge to enable us to earn sympathy donations and to give us a sense of euphoria...should we make it to the finish line!

With the exception of a handful of us, we are vastly unfit, unprepared and a long way from being able to ride 180 miles in less than a month, never mind 3 short days! This will not be easy, however with your support we know that we are doing something truly worthwhile.

Meet the team: John Grant, Paul Zimmerman, Martin Ross, Lee Appleton, Gary Suckall, Paul Harris, Tom Wright, Hewi Ma & Ray Goodman.

A small request, if you are going to be so generous as to donate, firstly THANK YOU and secondly, please state which team member you are donating for.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

The training has begun, although will it be enough...
