Local cyclists attempt 10 in 10 challenge!
On 9 August 2008 a group of 10 cyclists will be attempting a 750-mile journey, taking them through 10 countries in 10 days.
This epic journey will take the group from England to Italy via Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein. Just to make the journey a little more interesting, the group will be riding over the mighty Alps during the latter part of the trip.
None of the group are seasoned cyclists and the age range is from 18 to 54.
The group will be raising money for four charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support. To make a donation, visit http://www.justgiving.com/10in10-macmillan or visit the group's website at www.10in10.org.uk for more information about this incredible event.
The cyclists will be setting off from the UK on 9 August and finishing the chalenge in Italy on 19 August.
Best of luck to all the team, we are wishing you all a safe journey.
