The New Year!!

Well the New Year has arrived and the thought that in only a few short months we will be be struggling to cycle 1000 miles. Even the thought hurts.

For the four riders of the challenge we are now starting to get the old legs moving and begin our training. For some that means that we will be cycling to work a lot more often. (I meant to this morning but slept in!) For others in the team (Paul) that means starting a diet. Though just how long that will last is anyone's guess. I give it a week........

Over the next few weeks and months this blog will evolve with pictures being added and I and others will update the posts as often as we can to let you know how our preparations are going for the big challenge.

As you may be aware we are cycling the End2End challenge in July of this year. This is 1000 miles long and takes us from Land's End, Cornwall to John O'Groats all the way at the top of Scotland. We are doing this to raise money for the Dudley Group of Hospitals to buy fold away beds for parents who want to stay with their children overnight whilst they are receiving treatment.

We are a group of Police Officers and Police Community Support Officers that work on the Castle and Priory Neighbourhood Team in Dudley in the West Midlands.

A worthy cause I hope that you all agree. Please visit our Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/castle-wheelers if you would like to make a donation.
