So Tuesday i'm busy getting my head down with some work and out of nowhere arrives Ben Marvin from IMG Distribution and his friend Grant. Turn's out they have only gone and cycled from LANDS END to us on a two week trip that will see them end up in John O'Groats Scotland! That's a 961 mile trip ALL ON A BMX BIKE! ARE THEY MAD? I was seriously blown away by their determination and unbelievable high-spirits even after the first two days were spent peddling in 40mph headwinds and rain.
These guys really deserve everything they can get, so please please please support them and make a donation toward the charity they have chosen "Cyclists Fighting Cancer". CLICK HERE or the image below to be transferred to the JustGiving page where you can make a donation in many different ways (including a simple text from your phone!). The BMX Bikes that they are riding will also be raffled off at the end of the trip, keep popping back for updates.
I wish you both all the best on the rest of your trip! Be safe and keep us posted.
"The Story
So Ben Marvin and Grant Borthwick decided that they wanted to do our bit for charity! They looked at many things to do but wanted to do something that was a little challenging at the same time!
So......
Decided to do the classic Lands End to John O'Groats bike ride...but with a little twist!
Both of us ride BMX, yes these little kids bikes that alot of people associate with thugs and holligans! So the twist being that we intend covering the 961 miles on these tiny bikes! 1 Gear, 1 brake and small wheels!
The Charity we will be doing it for is 'Cyclists fighting cancer' which all our sponsors and contributions will help children and young people that have suffered from the effects of cancer.
Please donate and help us raise some £££'s for charity!
you can press donate on our page

Many Thanks for the help and support.
Ben and Grant"
