Well it seemed like a good idea at the time.... "Let's Run, Row or Ride between the garden centres on Garden Re-Leaf Day!! We can do it on the Kettler gym equipment we're selling at Studley. Should be fun!", I said!

Of course we only had 2 centres in the group when I said this so it was just a 50 mile adventure. Since then we've been busy and we now have 8 centres in the group so the distance has grown hugely and it's now a 240mile journey.

What will make it much easier (yes, really!) is knowing that you're with us in spirit.  Please support the team by donating through our Just Giving page. Run Row Ride 2014  http://www.justgiving.com/RunRowRide2014  and in a few minutes you will have done your bit.

Hopefully, by Friday afternoon we will have done our bit and travelled the 240 miles.

If we have raised £1,000 before we start the challenge at 9.30am on Friday then I promise that I will be on the machines for the full 6 hours.

As for Saturday... don't expect me to loading many bags of compost in to cars!!
