As some of you may be aware I am doing a cycle ride in July to try and raise some much needed funds for Sighthounds online, (http://www.sighthoundsonline.org.uk/ ) for an emergency kennel fund, etc etc.
This cycle ride is going to take place over 3 weeks and will start in Valence in the south of France on July 1st. I am carrying all my own equipment, tent, cooker, food, spares, clothes, etc
I will be climbing into the Vercors combe Laval, col de la Machine, before heading East to the Alpe d'Huez and from there tackling Vars, Izoard and Bonnett. After conquering the Alps I intend to cross Mount Ventoux and head through the camargue towards Spain and the climbs of the Pyranees, Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet before completing the ride in Lourdes.
In total I expect to cover around 1000 miles and gain around about 26,000 meters.
If you would like to sponsor me for this event (please ) I now have a my donate page https://mydonate.bt....isers/1000miles
Please note every penny you donate goes straight to SOL and they also get money from HMC in GIFT AID
I have also set up a facebook page http://www.facebook....103620649764537 where you can follow my training etc.
Please please please share these links with all your facebook friends, twitter buddies and x-post to any forums you think will allow,
Lets try and raise a stupid amount of cash to keep SOL in a position to carry on the fantastic work helping rescues and hounds not only in the UK but in Spain and around Europe as well.
Thanks all
Andrew
Ps If anyone would like to join me then you would be most welcome, either on a bike cycling, or carrying my pack in your car lol
