A team of Cumbrian cyclists have taken up the monumental challenge of riding 1000 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats. The ride will take 10 days starting 20th April 2012, covering around 100 miles per day. We are fundraising for Alice's Escapes, a new charity founded by Alice Pyne and her family. The charity's aim is to provide holidays for seriously ill children and their families, one which we think is such a worthy cause.

The Lunchtime News
Earlier this week we had the wonderful news that our local Booths in Ulverston will be supporting us by providing supplies for our lunches each day during the Lejog ride.
For people not in the North West of England, Booths are a food store/supermarket. The aim of their founder Edwin Henry Booth was “To sell the best goods he could buy in shops staffed with first class assistants” and that vision is still true today.
On the day our Lejog journey arrives in Cumbria we shall finish the day at the Booths store in Ulverston, the home town of the charity we are riding for - Alice's Escapes. We are planning to have quite a party atmosphere on this day, further details will follow.
