Why would anybody cycle 516 miles?

We want to raise money to buy a permanent home for Samye Dzong London.

Samye Dzong is...

...that most rare of things - a place of peace and tranquility for all in central London. Many people of all religious persuasions (or none) have benefited from the wide range of courses, teachings and therapies made available here over the years. In addition to providing access to a deep wisdom tradition, an unbroken lineage of teachings from the Buddha, and teaching meditation and relaxation techniques for stress reduction, we also offer affordable alternative therapies such as shiatsu and acupuncture (among others), and host classes and courses run by community groups, including martial arts and mother and toddler.

We'd like to make sure this work can continue, and are prepared to cycle 516 miles to raise money towards buying a permanent Centre. This will give us a stable base from which we can build on the work carried out over the last decade and continue to make a positive difference in the lives of those who live and work in London.

If you'd like to help us continue to make a difference, and give us a fantastic incentive to pedal all the way from the Thames to the Samye Ling Tea Party in Scotland, please click on the Donate button and give what you can.

Day 2

Made good time today, started to hit some decent hills, getting harder on the legs. Mantra helped! A couple more comedy falls, nothing serious. Fall count is 2,2,1,0 so far.....
Early night, all tired.

Hope all is going well, Will & Co. Am following your ride as if I'm there with you guys. Wish we had video but blogging is just as good.
