John O Groats to Lands End

We have decided to cycle the length of the country from John O Groats to Lands End in aid of two charities that are very close to our hearts. Both charities have a similar goal to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people albeit it in very different areas of the world. The Zambia IDEALS project is dedicated to empowering young people who are living in poverty using sport as a basis and educating communities about the issues surrounding HIV/AIDS. This work is carried out in one of the most socially and economically deprived areas of the world namely Lusaka, Zambia. Best Chances is a UK based charity which works in some of the most deprived areas of the country and aims to offer young people the best chances in life by breaking down financial barriers which prevent them from fulfilling their dreams. Both of these charities are currently carrying out tremendous work and have been involved in transforming the lives of many, young, deprived individuals. This work is obviously very dependent on funding and it is for this reason that we both felt we should do our bit by trying to raise some funds to allow this fantastic work to continue.

1 Week to go!!

It is just 7 days from now until we will be up in John O Groats and ready to begin our adventure. We have all of our kit and our routes sorted. A quick service for the bikes this week and a couple of light training rides and we are as ready as we will ever be!

Mood in the camp is good - slightly nervous about the prospect of cycling for 13 days straight but we are determined!

Keep checking back for updates which will hopefully be more exciting come next week!
