Welcome to Bikers for Beating Bowel Cancer

Thursday 9 September: 10.00pm. Well, we're finally here ready (almost!) to hit the road. Panniers are packed, 6.00am alarm set and a set of google maps laminated to protect against rain (anything standing still enough for long enough is now at serious risk of getting coated in plastic!). And the bike is gleaming - it's never looked this good...

The weather forecast looks fair and at 7.30am our four day two-wheeled mini tour will begin. Richard will be riding, navigating and generally being Officer Commanding and Clare will basically just hope not to fall off and/or fall asleep. Our Big British Ride will touch on the home nations of England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland then back through England, in four days. We'll keep you posted with blogs and tweets (below and to the right) so stay with us!

A huge thank you to everyone for helping us to raise funds and awareness for Beating Bowel Cancer through our Big British Ride - in memory of a lovely lady who meant so much to so many people, Kath Maynard (aka The Mothership).

Have a quick look at the links to the right below about the bike, the route, a bit more about bowel cancer (with a lovely pic of mother at our wedding and (of course!) the link to click if you would still like to make a donation.

So what would mother think? We like to think she'd approve ....



Thank you and see you soon ! Richard, Clare and Russell (Father).

TGI Friday

Many thanks go to our latest sponsors: Cordell Ray, Nick Eyles, Bob Manley, Colin Bridgman, Simon, Lynne Trenery, Simon, and last but not least, Pat Perry, Suzanne Murphy and Mia, aka 'The Ladies In Accounts'.
Currently working on a plan to get the bike liveried up 'on the hoof' with the national flags of all the countries we'll be going through. After the World Cup debacle, I'm told England decals are now half price, but you have to buy them in a plain brown envelope...
