Why?

Why?
This year, in fact until June 2008, John is President of Penrith Rotary Club. As a personal contribution to club fundraising, and because we want to, we have decided to cycle from Lands End to John o' Groats.We hope to raise lots of money for Cancer Research UK and Eden Valley Children's Hospice in Carlisle UK. The plan is to do the ride in May 2008 without support; just 2 bodies 2 bikes and 4 panniers.

Day 7 - 13th May

50 miles at 9.2mph average. Much better day terrain more friendly, weather still sunny but a breeze to keep us cool. Wind when there is wind continues to be in our faces though, so much for the prevailing wind on our backs!
Thanks to Leslie for finding us a bed for tomorrow night, and also thanks to the lady who gave us £20 in Much Wenlock where we stopped for coffee this morning.
Tonight we are being well looked after by Paul, the President of Market Drayton Rotary Club, We are going to their meeting tonight [Penrith attendance officer please note].
Tomoorow we go on north to the Wigan area.
Photos today are from Much Wenlock and Ironbridge in Shropshire.
