Neil & Jamie took part in our sixth promotional peddle today at Tesco`s Tidworth (nine more to go)! We raised £663.11 for our two charities, Help for Heroes & The Starlight Children`s Foundation. The grand total raised so far, now stands at an amazing £5015.92. Today we were fortunate enough to meet some lovely people, who wished us well with our worthy causes & encouraged our efforts. The couple who chatted about their LEJOG were inspirational. We would like to thank all of the wonderful people who kindly donated.

First Team Ride

Shortly after 2pm today, Alex, Neil, Pete & Jamie set off from Blandford on our first team ride. Alex was riding his brand new Scott CR1 Pro bike. We rode one of Neil`s favourite 30 mile routes taking in some of the lovely countryside Dorset has to offer around the Tarrants. The ride was very enjoyable & towards the end we were peddling along at a reasonable pace all taking turns at the front. Minor issues had be overcome, 1 puncture, 1 chain & one uneccesary halt by one of the riders (the author) who thought he was about to have a heart attack, well his heart rate monitor displayed as much. Moral of the tale, listen to your body.
