D is for Damian and Donating

You might see from his answers that Damian is rather more enthusiastic about the trip then the rest of the group (the steeper the better is in no way a group held theory).

Current bike: Ridegeback Horizon in liquid silver (looks
like titanium). Only 3 months old - the baby bike of the party.

Favourite cycle ride: My quick training ride - Kendal to Kirkby Lonsdale to Sedbergh and back over Black Horse Hill. 34 miles of hills, 3 lovely towns, quite roads and awesome views.

Thoughts on trip: Can't wait. Just wish we had time to go all the way to John 'o Groats. Maybe next year. Really looking forward to the scenery in Cornwall.

Favourite piece of Kit: My Castelli socks. Most expensive socks I've ever bought but they have got a picture of a crab on!!

Favourite cycling quote: The steeper the better

What does cycling mean to you: Cycling is the meaning of life - great destinations, fitness, freedom and wonderful people

Pearl of wisdom: Make sure you've got plenty of inner tubes and a spare tyre.


.....and the donating bit
As a few people have asked if we were doing this ride for charity we thought what the heck we might as well so we've set up a Just Giving page. In the event that anyone reads this and is feeling particularly benevolent then please feel free to visit www.justgiving.com/LandsEndLancaster and donate whatever you can (all proceeds to the Red Cross).
