hi all! the time has come to launch my charity ride for next year.
it will take place on the weekend of the 26th august and will finish 450 miles later on sunday 4th september!
:shock:
we will be departing tobermory on the island of mull, west scotland on sunday 28th august and travel through glasgow, kilmarnock, dumfries, gretna, carlilse, penrith, bowness on windermere, skipton, harrogate, york, selby and finishing in hull in east yorkshire on monday 8th september.
the route is road biased this year, to accomodate for more riders and a gentle ride. but is routed so we can have challenges through the mountains.
this is not a race! this will be marshalled and supported. i am in talks with hotels and production companies as we speak, so i can post more info when things are signed and sealed.
the monies raised will go to a charity of your choice.
there will be costs involved, but i am begging and pleading for freebies to make it as cheap as possible for all.
any interested peeps, give me a shout!
this year we completed the trans pennine trail both ways! 430 miles mainly off road, so this should be a doddle! LOL

McDonalds old england hotel in bowness on windermere are doing me a deal inclucing full english breakfast for a little bit of luxury again!
and i have the final hotel, the royal station hotel in hull, who are throwing an after ride party for us and guests in our own function suite before we retire to our own rooms.
the royal station hotel is next to hull train station, so riders from other areas can hop on the train home in the morning.
please bare in mind that these hotels are not travel lodges and are 4 star minimum.
