David Insley: Riding in the C2C Challenge

from 01 Sep 2012 - 02 Sep 2012 in Whitehaven to Sunderland

I cycled 142 miles in two days through the lake district and over the Pennines to Sunderland. What's more, I press ganged the wife into doing it & two fat friends!! They were awesome & now they're not quite so fat!!

An absolutely fabulous weekend, I loved every hill - up & down! Many thanks to all of my 'DOers' your pledges spurred me on no end. 10 300 kgCO2 is a great effort.

Thanks to the DOnation team for a great idea, great site and kind support - I'll be doing it all again for my next challenge!!

Yes, I'm asking you to sponsor me... But no, I'm not asking you to give me your change: I'm asking you to create change.

The DoNation is all about creating a more sustainable world, about protecting the environment on which our livelihoods depend. And the environment needs our action more than it needs our cash.

HOW IT WORKS:
Browse the DoActions and find one (or more) that suits you, then make your pledge(s). Some are really easy; others take a bit more effort.

You only pledge to do your chosen action for two months and all the information you need is provided here on The DoNation, making it really easy to complete. You'll receive a few helpful reminders and then at the end of the two months you'll be asked to confirm how you got on.

So please, get doing!

Thank you!!
