All too often, our lives are touched by people who do whatever they can to make lives better despite them not knowing anything about you. My life has been effected by these people and personally, I would like to give back. This was the thinking behind this little project. The time they spent, not only with my Grandmother in her final months but also my family will never be forgotten
To this end, we have a team of us tackling the "Way Of The Roses" cycle route, from the west coast at Morecombe, right across the country to the east coast at Bridlington which is roughly 170 miles coast to coast. Chances are, we'll be taking a slightly longer route to ensure that road bikes can handle it OK and we'll be stopping overnight to recharge.

The challenge will include an overnight stay at **to be arranged** and will take place on 27th/28th May 2017 allowing plenty of time to get training in. I'll be posting updates on my training to this thread, I don't know if anyone will follow suit
The target is a very achievable £2,500, which will be raised through Just Giving. The donation page for anyone wanting to pledge money to this cause is
