Having not been on here for a while I have just seen this thread, if you have already done this then well done, if not, good luck with it!

Having done a long distance charity ride, last year for BLESMA, myself I don't need to imagine what you will go/have gone through, and if you are doing/did do this in one day, then kudos to you! Hope you planned well and the weather is/was good for you! Once payday comes around I will set aside some beer tokens for the cause

However, the link doesn't work for me and takes me straight to the login page instead :S

Try this one fella's.....Michael Lidster is fundraising for British Limbless Ex-Service Men's Association (Blesma)

Many thanks for your support !

Thanks for your kind words "Ducks" i have not done the ride yet,i shall be doing it over the weekend of 23rd and 24th of June and i hope to complete it as quick as possible mind,body and bike willing lol. I have a couple of mate doing it with me all of us are former Coldstream Gds so the turnout shoud be spot on if nowt else

Training has started and bike getting fitted out with extra bits and pieces next week thanks to TREK in Milton Keynes,will keep you all posted as to how it goes and you can follow my training and other news via Facebook and the BLESMA site,just look up Grand Union Canal Challenge !

Once again thanks,

I may join you if that wouldnt be an issue? I know the idea of a complete stranger asking to join a group is borderline odd but you've got me wanting to do a long distance ride again!

I am currently on course at kineton until July so I could meet you some way between Leamington and Banbury (if google maps has shown me the correct location of the canal!). PM me if you don't mind a sprog joining the ranks

Best of luck with it. There are long stretches of the towpath on which cycling isn't allowed (but I won't tell on you).
