Day 15 almost 300 miles/480 ks. and more funds added as I cycle for BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH

Hi,

I must start by thanking those that continue to give to such a worthy cause - it really makes this ride worthwhile. Don't forget to let others know, thank you.

Have just read a story that puts this ride in aid of BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH into perspective.

Pippa Middleton at the grand old age of 30 has just completed, with the rest of the team of 8, the 3,000 mile ride across The United States in aid of The British Heart Foundation and the Michael Matthews Foundation.

Nothing strange so far ... so read on....

Apparently the media are more interested in other elements such as how sore was she after completing the race.... (I quote)

They were part of a team of eight taking turns to cycle while others rested

Pippa revealed she would treat her bottom with plenty of saddle cream

But her custom-built, £2,250 (weighing in at 7.5 kgs) road bike no doubt helped her as well!

I am riding a Giant Cri (weighing in at about 15 kgs + rucksack etc) at the grand old age of 70+ with a racing saddle kindly given by Simon Marr whom I cycled the London Nightrider with in 2013 in aid of The Royal Air Forces Association when we completed 108 miles overnight.

I am aiming to raise £1,000 this time, Kate has so far raised £4,800.

The secret to raising more obviously lies more in ones anatomy than the distance cycled!!

(So what hope have I?!!...)


So out with the cream, more massage and, and - Oh yes!, nearly forgot - buy a new 7.5 kg. bespoke bike!

Please support me so I can reach the more modest £1,000 by cycling 425 miles/700 kms. on my trusty stead...

If you feel others would also like to help please pass this message on.

Our vision is to find a cure for brain tumours. Let us turn the aim of BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH into a reality.

In the meantime I feel a little like this........

Langton is still going strong .....

Thanks for reading,

Langton Wildman
