Welcome to our 'mini' bike ride.




We're off again ! This time down to Falmouth in Cornwall. Mary Ann's son Jack is coming to the end of his 3 years at uni down there and we haven't ever seen the house he moved into for his second year ! Sal has to see it too as she is his Godmother and feels the need !
So we are leaving from Putney Bridge on Friday 9th March 2012. This is near the beginning of the UK cycle route 4 which ends in Wales. Actually we are jumping off at Bristol and then heading down to Glastonbury and joining Route 3 which is part of the Lands End to John O'Groats route. We should take 7 or 8 days to do it soooo Welcome to the ride.

Our charity page is still up and running. PLEASE don't feel obligated as we are well passed our target but if you are feeling flush........

Our chosen charity is Cancer Research UK. Anyone wishing to donate please go to:

    Hi Mary Ann and Sally
    What a fantastic trip! I am deeply envious and, having done a similar route by motorbike about 300 years ago, can conjure up some vivid images to accompany the reading of your excellent account. My youngest has just finished at school but has the minor hurdle of exams ahead - otherwise I'd be out there for a driving stint as you hit those amazing northern Italian lakes. Not quite sure how you intend to get back for Cari's forthcoming 60th Mary Ann but I'm sure you've got it in hand!
    Safe journey.

    Lovely to hear from you Jony! It would have been great to have had you out here but I think we are pretty much covered now. It is pouring with rain today and so we have had an unscheduled second day off which is a bit of a blow. It really would have been too unpleasant. I'm afraid i'm not, and never was going to make cari's do but will be there in spirit. Hope to meet you one of these days having heard about you nearly all my life !!! xx
