What did Jordan lose today? Well its more temporarily misplaced his credit card.
Philip's leaving do was soooo good last night that he has decided to stay another night. I have been to a couple of Philip's leaving do's but never two in a row, I am not sure my body is capable but this ride is about challenging the body.
We cycled in excess of 50 miles, the top speed reach was 46 mph by our guest cyclist Geoff. Evidently it was the speed camera that egged him on. However 50mph top speed is being predicted by the end of the week.
We were in awe of Clifton bridge and Ashton Court park despite the steep climb afterwards. We were richly rewarded with Vicky O'Gram chocolate cake & the view of the grazing zebras. Thank you Vicky.
Having carry out a meticulous route plan and studied it hard I was disappointed that I cycled past the roundabout near the finish and had to turn back and phone for directions! Maybe Philip's leaving do's are not such a good idea.

Why research?
Not enough is known about malignant brain tumours, who is affected or why they occur.
More men under 45 and women under 35 die from a brain tumour than any other cancer.
The incidence of brain tumours has increased by 30-40% in the past 30 years; that’s 2% per year 20% of all cancers now spread to the brain.
Brain tumour research receives just over half a percent (0.7%) of cancer research spending in the UK.
Brain Tumour Research Campaign combines the skills of clinicians, academics and pathologists on both a local and global platform. Their laboratory is based at Charing Cross Hospital which is regarded as being an international centre of excellence for neuro-oncology.
Goals & Objectives
BTRC objective is to fund a multi-tiered research project to improve our understanding of brain tumour biology and improve current treatment strategies.
To be able to do this, they are providing funding for the BTRC research team, laboratory and equipment and are promoting neurological and medical research.
BTRC are lobbying with other brain tumour research charities to create awareness in public and private sectors. Research results are shared with other brain tumour research groups both in the UK and internationally.
