Been thinking about it for a wee while.

Talked it over with the men in the house.

Talked to Leilani about it.

She agreed quite readily.

So we've both signed up and paid the registration fee. 8-)

1 -9 October 2015 Women V Cancer Cycle Africa

A 350km ride across Tanzania, starting in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro and finishing at the impressive Ngorongoro Crater, where there will be the option to do a safari. Along the way you will cycle through three national parks and experience the life and culture of the colourful Maasai tribe in their natural environment.

It will be a journey full of fun, friendship and incredible support as women of all ages and from all walks of life challenge themselves for an amazing cause. This fantastic challenge is a great opportunity to get fit, lose weight and have an experience of a life time all whilst raising significant funds to help in the fight against breast, ovarian and cervical cancers.

Funds raised by Women V Cancer will be divided equally between three important charities: Breast Cancer Care, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action and used to support their valuable work.

Best get extra bike rides in with Herman the German!!!! :P :P

Is it only woman cycling or are men allowed as well?

Oh gosh it sounds sexist but looking at all the details it's just for women.

I've already had a hoot with Leilani at her imagining herself in a pair of padded cycling shorts. :lol: :lol:

I woke up this morning thinking: I need to practise cycling with one hand and a having a camera in the other hand otherwise I'll get left behind cos I'll be too busy stopping to take photos! :lol: :lol:

Thanks all for your good wishes..I remember seeing Fern Britton doing a cycle thing in Egypt and thinking I'd like to do that. :lol: :lol:
