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:

Swiss Route 3

Just a bit about this as the Swiss have really done themselves proud. We are now a long long way from our last 'little red sign' that was Route 3. From Basle to Chiasso we didn't have to look at a map or a GPS. Our little red signs took us through farm yards, along river banks, up hills, down dales, through orchards and allotments, across building sites, cities and housing estates and even up and down a mountain pass. It was always kind, trying hard not to work us too hard and always there or just around the corner. Well done Switzerland........and then to Italy !!!!
