Having completed our first challenge on 10 July 2011, Jamie and Neil have decided to continue fundraising for Help for Heroes & Starlight charities, by static cycling in various shops across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset. Jamie is also training to cycle stage 19 of the 2011 Tour de France (Modane to Alpe d'Huez) in the future. We hope to raise £20,000

All donations no matter what the size, will be graciously received and further add to our enthusiasm to raise even more money for our chosen charities. Donations can be made securely by following the links below. Thank you for your interest in our challenge, please pop back from time to time, to see our progress.

12 April 2012

Haven`t said much for sometime, there hasn`t been much to say. Since then, things have moved forward. On 10th April we had great pleasure in banking £1,158.16, taking the total we have raised to £17,846.56. If anyone would have told us that, when we were sat down planning all of this, we probably wouldn`t have believed them. Now due to the amazing public, even in these times of austerity WE believe it. So a MASSIVE (one for kneel) thanks to everyone who has shown interest, support or donated whatever the amount. Jamie has invested in a Tacx i-magic turbo that simulates rides in real life video. He has a route called Alpine classic, this is basically 90% of the route that we are riding on 30th June. It`s bloody savage & that`s putting it mildly. With close to 10 weeks before we ride Modane to Alpe d`Huez, we are trying to get as much training in as possible (quite difficult when you work shifts that overlap). On that note, now would be a very opportune moment to thank my long suffering partner, so on behalf of myself (Jamie) "Donna" I can never thank you enough for your support & words of wisdom. We have some more promotional cycles planned, dates & venues to follow. We are also hoping to get across to Wales to cycle over some CAT 1 mountains, to better prepare us for the lumps in France. Well that`s about it for now, so be well & "Ta-ta for now", I think that should be abbrieviated?
