Next April I will pedal 330 miles from Peterborough to Edinburgh (which is the south England of right up to Scotland in old money) with my pal Mike.

It was supposed to have already happened but a toe rag stole my bike!

The cycle is to raise money for Meningitis UK, a charity set up to find a vaccine to protect against all forms of meningitis and associated diseases. For more info visit http://scotlandonabike.wordpress.com.

Please give me some pennies or I'll send Geldof down to sort you out.

Americans - you can donate! Though it says 'pounds' it comes out of your bank the same - just work out how much you want to send. The currency rate is £1 = $1.57 - no excuses!!
