After not having been on a bike for 25 years during the first lockdown I started cycling on my husband’s indoor trainer. I’ve cycled almost every day over the past year! Great exercise  when you’ve survived open heart surgery...twice!

Motivation to keep going over the winter came from this challenge. Over the last 3 months I have cycled 874 miles, the distance between Land’s End and John O ‘Groats to raise funds for Cornwall Hospice Care.

I’d really appreciate any donations you can give to this great cause.

Many thanks,

Shirley

A message from Cornwall Hospice Care.....get on your bike!

Well folks, here we are in another Lockdown. The feedback we received for our lockdown challenges last year was that it gave people a goal, a reason to get up and get out to achieve a challenge. The huge success of Tour de Cornwall and positive feedback around mental health has spurred us on to new challenges. One of our supporters has suggested a virtual cycle from Lands end to John O'Groats. Well, we're up for it if you are! Its 874 miles and we reckon around 20 miles cycling a week on average throughout 2021. We're giving you all year to achieve it and any miles you cycle will count, including our Coast and Clay cycling event this July.So drag that rusting bike out of the garage and give it some love. Were offering another spanking medal and certificate on completion and lots of encouragement and laughs in our Strava Team.You can do this on your own or you can enter as a team. Do it anywhere, anytime. The idea being to get us all motivated to get out and get moving and of course
