We'd originally just planned to do the ride for our own pleasure (if that's the right word), however this seemed a little selfish, so we've decided to exploit what would otherwise have been a holiday for the embetterment of man (and woman) kind.

We've decided to try and raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK, mostly because they do so much stuff for so many people in so many different fields. They also conduct research into all aspects of cancer treatment and prevention across the whole country.
