About The Ride

What is it?

Quite simply, it involves riding the length of Britain, from the farthest South-Westerly point to the extreme North East; end-to-end as it is also known. A whopping 850 miles! It is usually cycled in this direction in the hope that the SW prevailing winds will give a bit of assistance! We hope to do the whole thing in a week if not quicker?

Who's Idea Was It Anyway?

After a fun packed cycle trip round Ireland in October 2007 we were looking for the next challenge.

Thanks for looking at the site. Please pledge your donations on the "Donate Now" page and Leave a comment on the message board!

We are hoping to raise £2000!

Cheers Henry and Roddy

We are riding for the fun of it and to raise money for Strathpeffer Community Centre and Alzheimers Scotland

ALZHEIMERS SCOTLAND

Provide the national Dementia Helpline, this website (www.alzscot.org) and local services all over Scotland for people with dementia and their carers. Our local services include:

Day centres providing the chance to socialise and enjoy activities and outings, and giving carers a break (some centres open in the evenings and at weekends too)

Home support services providing company and help to maintain skills and independence at home, while the carer is free to go out (sometimes this is also available overnight)

Drop-in centres where people with dementia and carers can socialise

support groups for carers and for people with dementia

Carer education helping carers learn more about the illness and how to cope

One-to-one support to help people with dementia and their families cope with the illness

Welfare rights service

Information and advice on a wide range of subjects.
