Well it's not.

Anyway, OH is about to ride form Newcastle to London (300miles) in 24hrs. She's doing it for Breakthrough Breast Cancer as we've now got two friends undergoing treatment. I know she (and the charity) would greatly appreciate any spare change you've found down the back of the sofa. She's pretty nervous about the ride as the furthest she's gone so far is 150miles.

Cheers, 100th

im a bit skint at the moment but put a little donation in. it really meant the world to me when people on here donated to my mates brother's ride after lucy died. he rode much further than he thought he could and when i asked him about it he was totally blown away that people (especially the total strangers) were so generous. good luck to you lizzie 🙂 you can do it

Cheers jonah, she's nervous but i'm sure she can do it. Only worry is what she'll have lined up next.

After several STWers donated to me doing the LEL a couple of weeks ago, its only fair to return the karma 🙂
Donation made (once paypal wakes up)

Good luck with the ride. Once she's nailed the first 100, the rest will just keep coming. What route is she riding?

she can do it mate, we all have the faith, and what better excuse to push your limits than to help others. my mate lucy's family all got right into it and have raised loads- a great way to get something positive from something that can seem so desperately negative.

Well she's still going as of 5am she was 219miles in. Averaging 16mph moving. Beginning to flag a bit though. Should be reaching the last check point within the hour then it's a 38mile Sprint to the line.

Massive thanks to all who donated and left a message on the just giving page I know the good wishes of strangers helped. She made it in 23hrs 50mins last 20 miles was an ordeal 3 punctures and a bent hangers from dropping the bike. she only really started cycling 3 years ago and you've spurred her onto complete a damned impressive challenge.
