The 'Fred Whitton' Challenge.

Hello Fellow Harriers

I (Genevieve) am doing a 112 mile bike ride. The Fred Whitton Challenge is considered to be the most gruelling bike race on the Race Calendar. It is a 112 mile sportive ride for charity around the English Lake District, taking in six of the major passes en route. It is on Sunday 11th May this year (1 week to go!...whose idea was this?). The route starts & finishes in Coniston and includes the climbs of Kirkstone Pass, Honister Pass, Newlands Pass, Whinlatter Pass, Cold Fell, Irton Pike, and finishes with the brutal Hardknott & Wrynose Passes (which is, apparently, like cycling up a wall!!)

I am raising sponsorship money for Macmillan Nurses and I would be most grateful for any contributions.

Thank you very much for your support and happy running.
