<DIV>Dear Pelican</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many of you know my son, Dan (Ex Pelican and KES schoolboy) is
attempting to cycle<BR>from John O'Groats to Lands end for Cancer Research &
British Heart<BR>Foundation as part of Beeston HC charity raising (5 are riding
with a<BR>support team in a mini bus including female masseur! whom has been
greatly appreciated by the team so far following the mountain rides!). They have
already raised about £3000 by<BR>other means.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thought I would give you an update on Dan's trip to date.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Friday 29th - team driven by mini bus from Nottingham to fort William
(took a<BR>long time!) Team got pissed at night (bonding session!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Saturday - driven to John O'Groats - didn't get pissed but eat pasta!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sunday - Cycled along A836 up and down mountains to Lairg (overnight
stop)<BR>97 miles approx 7 hours in saddle (wasn't King of the Mountains!!).
Quads<BR>just ached a bit - had a good rub down! More pasta etc</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Monday - Cycled along A836, A9, A82 to Fort William up and down
'kin<BR>mountains! 115 miles approx 81/2 hours in saddle. Absolutely
knackered in<BR>evening more hot baths and massages. More food etc in
evening.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tuesday - Cycling to Paisley. Roughly 100 miles today.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Aiming to be in Nottingham on Friday (for a quiet party at the
Hockey<BR>club!). Roughly half way they believe. Then onwards on Saturday to
Lands End aiming to be there on 10th August. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The boy/team have done well so far!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They were hoping for a link on their club website but it is currently being
reconstructed for the forthcoming season so emails are the way to correspond and
mobile phone photos from Dan!. They have had Press reports in the Nottingham
Post and hope to have more with possibly local TV coverage when they get to
Nottingham. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So should any of you feel inclined to offer a donation to the cause please
let me know and I will sort it out with Dan. Thank you for your time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards to all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Look forward to the forthcoming season with you all.</DIV>
