HI, Having not been on a bike since the age of 10, I have been talked in to taking part in an Ultra Cycling Challenge later this year, Le-Jog Extreme. This event involes a load of Ex Rugby League players jumping on bikes to help raise money for the Steve Prescott Foundation. The event consists of 3 teams of 8 people cycling from Lands-End to John O'Groats within 9 days, including on days 4, 5 & 7 climbing Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis respectively in the evenings. A few of the facts: - We aim to cycle around 1000 miles. Walk up & down the 3 highest peaks in Great Britain covering 26 miles (marathon distance) walking 9,800ft of accent and decent and slog out around 46,000 ft of elevation with all the up hill cycling, not to mention spending over 60 hours in the saddle. Ouch!!! I kindly ask if you woud be willing to sponsor me and help raise my target of £1,000.00 Should you wish, you can visit the Steve Prescott Website to read more about the event, foundation and two charities close to his heart (Christies Cancer Hospital & Rugby League Benevolent Fund) and to have a laugh at our attempts to ride around the Manchester Velodrome on bikes with no brakes!!!!! www.steveprescottfoundation.co.uk/ Thank you for reading.
