Who are we?

We are a team of friends from BBC Monitoring in Caversham. In October 2009 we raised over £2000 for Help for Heroes by cycling along the Thames from BBC Monitoring to the MOD Main Building on Whitehall - see http://bbcm2modcycle.blogspot.com for the full story.

This year we are setting ourselves a greater challenge. On June 11th we will be cycling the 100 miles from Bristol to Reading along the 100 locks of the Kennet and Avon Canal, in just a single day.

The team has changed; we have three novice cyclists riding with us this year. The canal towpath is narrower, rougher and generally more difficult than the Thames path, and we have the obstacle of the Caen Hill locks outside Devizes to negotiate before lunch!

We want to double the amount that we raised last year.  Please donate at our JustGiving page.
