Nigel, a long standing member of the club, is cycling to Monte Carlo in aid of Cancer Research UK. On 25th June, Nigel and 2 other cyclists will set off from Duffield to complete a challenge of almost 1,000 miles (15,000 km) in under 10 days!
The 3 cyclists plan are all approaching a ‘new decade’ and some have recently been through difficult times losing loved ones to cancer. What was initially planned to be big biking challenge so developed into raising funds for charity. Plans are now well laid, with a detailed route prepared, bike spares and sport nutrition sorted, and accommodation along the route being booked.
Sponsor the team now Nigel and the team are keen to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK. Their sponsorship page can be found on JustGiving.com/cyclemontecarlo. Details of their challenge, including their progress along the journey can be found on their website www.cyclemontecarlo.co.uk, and on twitter and facebook.
