MONSTER RIDE 2011! ...LEJOG...

JUNE 2011 newsletter

Lands End To John OʼGroats is fast approaching for three ladies. On the 8th of August 2011 Kate Ryley, Emily Morrissey and Sian Belfield from Adventure Eyes will set off for the ride of their summer. Taking in over 800 miles through beautiful Britain and far too many hills, the gals will definitely have their work cut out! Taking just over two weeks the ladies will aim to ride approximately 70 miles a day to complete the charity ride in which all proceeds will go to Mountain Rescue England and Wales. Adventure Eyes, Dartmoor Cycles and Fisher Outdoor Leisure are supporting the ladies on this Monster Ride. It would be fantastic if you could also offer your support in any way that you can. Donations (big or small!) will be very gratefully received, similarly you can show your support by helping to spread the word or even passing on any words of wisdom, advice or recommendations. All will be much appreciated! In terms of other updates this month...
