The cycle ride came about when I was thinking of a challenge to set myself for this summer. My two friends, Peter Root and Mary Thompson, both showed an early interest when I was visiting Guernsey to deliver two seminars in February.

A short while later, my father died and I decided to honour his memory by dedicating this cycle ride to him.

Take a look at the Just Giving page (link in the right hand navigation) for more information.

The date for the commencement of the cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats has now been set as Saturday, 19th July 2008. Although if you live allllllllllll the way across the channel, then the real start date is the 18th because this little fella takes ages to get from Guernsey to Portsmouth
