La Tania veterans The Derby Barmy Army in John OGroats to Lands End Bike Ride

Familiar to many in La Tania, the lads from Derby who visit LT every year (including Roger & Andy who have an apartment here) are attempting to cycle from John OGroats to Lands End in 9 days (approx 110 miles per day).

More famous for skiing in onesies, penguin suits or black tie and running up legendary bar tabs than for their physical fitness, it looks like some challenge (and yes, they are pictured outside a pub).

They’re raising money for the Derbyshire Childrens Holiday Centre http://www.dchc.org.uk which provides children who for a variety of reasons would have no chance of a holiday.

You can donate via http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/jogle14jun and follow their progress in June on their facebook group page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/JOGLEchallenge

Good luck to Pat, Steve, Roger, Andy, Nick and Mick  (The Mamils – Middle Aged Men In Lycra) with support from John, Andy and Brian.

More from them soon, Go Hard….
