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 Nine.............

Knew it was too good to last, had a hilly day! Smoe short hills, others long. The climb over the moors from Newton to Ingleton, the last hill being two miles long and steep in places.

Did 63 miles at an average of 8.3 mph, with a maximum of 41.2mph (achieved by Shorter of course)

A town named after our very good friend Alan.


Kath and Alan met us in Ingleton and took us our for dinner.
Rounded off our evening with friends Alan and Kath, our sincer thanks for comming to support us and for the lovely meal.
