1st August to 17th August 2009
1 family - The Yorwerths (Mike, Amanda, Adam and Hannah)
3 bikes - a touring bike, a hybrid and a tandem
940 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats
Why we are doing this
We hope to raise money for our three chosen charities - Muscular Dystrophy, Sustrans and TreeAid. Follow the links to our JustGiving pages.
Please make a donation and think of us while we are battling the best of the summer showers, the traffic and the hills through England, Wales and Scotland.
