I'm foolishly doing this again this year on Fathers Day - June 16th, and have roped a couple of friends in.
It's actually bloody good fun and if there's a few keen cyclists on here, we could even look at a team LG one year?

Annnnyyyywaayyyy.....
I know money is tight for everyone, but if you can possibly spare anything for the British Heart Foundation that would be very

People don't realise that heart disease is the UK's biggest killer. It's not always people with bad diets etc and it affects the very young too. This is especially important to me as my Father in law had a mild heart attack about 11 years ago, this is a guy that eats well and lives well, and had kept active, so it was thought to be stress related

- BUT the year before last he did the 54 mile ride with us, at age 70, testament to the amazing support he received from everyone

So, even if you can donate just 3 quid and look at it as though you've bought the BHF a pint, that would be really generous, thank you.

I would happily organise it, if there's enough interest.

Do you need an extra person for this!! Seeing as I'm doing a lot of cycling at my uncle's gym.

Come on everyone, get out your Prelude's and lets do something.

Are you serious mate? If so, I'll see what I can do.
It's usually over subscribed but when I spoke to them last, the guy gave me the impression that I could probably squeeze in new team members if need be.

You know I have been booked in to shoot 6 Indian wedding, All in July and August. As much as I want to do something like this, I wouldn't have the time to 'train' and then put some time in to this.

After July we can do it. A LG team..
