Welcome my name is Paula, this is going to be my blog leading up and throughout my John O'Groats to Lands End bike ride 2012. So what might you be thinking? It's years away, quite true but it takes a lot of planning. Not only that I want to be at a good fitness level and be happy about riding 6-8 hours on my bike each day. So why did I start? Good question! I started my challenges after my good friend and his amazing family lost their beautiful daughter Emily to Cancer in 2007. Since then Matt, his family and friends have been raising money and awareness for their chosen charity 'CLICSargent'. As so many wonderful people got involved they set up a trust called 'Embo Trust' which continues to this day. They have raised over £70,000 with still more to come. I have been so inspired that I now set myself yearly challenges:
