    Mr_eL_Bee

    Starting on Friday 13th May, I’ll be riding the Fred course once a day for 10 days 🙂
    What could be better? 10 days cycling around Lakeland….
    Well… it did seem like a good idea at the time 😕

    Why?
    Partly because I want to, and it’s a worthy challenge;
    Mostly to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support

    Now – here’s the fun bit! 😀

    Anyone who wants to come and ride all or part of the route with me on any of the days is more than welcome just ping me an email at 10FW@faster-feet.com
    I’ll be leaving from Hills Garage in Coniston – so that I can use the 4 Seasons timing cards – each morning at 6am.

    If folk are interested in my progress, I’ll update this thread, and I’ll write up each day more fully on my blog

    Cheers

    I don’t think you’d want them now!! They are still recovering!!
    And they are reminding me just how hard they worked. Seemed like such a good idea at the time 😉

    Hello again
    Just wanted to
    Hello again 🙂

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been following my little adventure and to those who rode with me and sent me messages!

    OK, The nice folk at Onixbikes have donated one of their Onix BC1 Carbon Bottle Cages (RRP £34.99) for my exploits on the Fred Whitton.

    It’s very nice and I think it would would look fantastic on my bike – but the whole point was to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan.

    So If someone would like to make a decent offer for it as a donation to Macmillan, I’ll part with it.

    If no-one wants it, I’ll be making a generous donation myself, and keeping it 🙂

    Anyone out there think that my efforts are worth a few quid for Macmillan?

    1 in 3 (Oh – the same ratio as Hardknott) of us will be effected by Cancer at some point in our lives, and may well NEED these people to support us!

    Cheers guys!
    🙂

    Day 9 – Tough day!! Really windy and I was riding in to it for long sections, and the bike needed some work from the guys at Cyclewise – and they stopped it making the Click Of Doom!
    So I was stopped there for 45 minutes
    8:55 for the day though – pretty pleased with that!
