The riders, all from the Thorndon Park Running Club in Brentwood, are Malcolm Bishton, John Hughes, Ken Payne, Paul Richardson, Colin Smith, Mark Starling & Nick Wilkinson with a support crew of Bob & Betty Mansfield and Fran Wilkinson. They are cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End, covering over 1,000 miles in only 11 days, and hoping to raise money for charity in the process.
Their ride will start at John O’Groats on the 12th June 2011 and finish at Lands End on 22nd June.
The money they raise will be divided equally between their chosen charities – Basildon Women’s Aid, Diabetes UK & Fragile X.
