Riding from Cologne to Lille for Charity
I am once again taking part in a 3 day charity bike ride over the May Bank holiday. It's from Cologne to Lille which is over 300 miles on hilly roads. It's with a group of 30 people - 25 & a half riders and 4 & a half drivers in two support vehicles, put together by Connect Plus, the people who maintain the M25.
The charity is St. Francis, a hospice for terminally ill people, which looked after a lady called Barbara Gray, who had recently retired from Connect Plus only to develop cancer. She sounded like a lovely vivacious lady and her family was at the hospice when a group of us - unfortunately, not including me - cycled to the hospice last Thursday. As someone who has lost both my parents and colleagues to cancer, I urge you to give. The link to give is here. Thanks.
