It would be brilliant if we passed close enough for you to join us for a bit! I think me and sue will be ready to kill each other by then so a fresh face would be great
Surely you will have a support vehicle to keep you sane?

I'll donate once I get back from my travels abroad, as they're 2 of my favourite charities.

Good luck with the challenge, you'll do it, no problem. I'd like to join you like LP, but you'll not be riding anywhere near me.

If my old boss did it when he was 60 it'll be a breeze for you (fingers crossed )

You are doing a LeJOG ? - respect. I'll admit to being a wee bit jealous, something I have always wanted to do

Oh and you cant read the body of your text if you are using the any of the black / dark themes' do you want me to fix it ?
