Virtual Refectory: A Walk of Faith or Quest for Pilgrimage?

The road less or most travelled...?

Good Morning, lovely Ecclesiasticals,

I survived my first extended bike ride—yay! About 80km in all, though had to bail on the last few miles owing to brake and gear issues. I’m heading out today to get these sorted. Still, the views en-route were breathtaking. See below for just a few of the bucolic, undulating landscape which embraced us as we peddled (images from the entire team).

A little reminder, here is my JustGiving page. Club Pelaton is the charity we are cycling for—and it really is a great case. Club Peloton is transforming young lives by supporting a number of brilliant projects. Every rider will raise money for Club Peloton so we can continue to help these amazing projects:

- recruiting families for 1,150 children waiting longer than 18 months to find adoptive homes via Coram Adoption

- assisting 500 families with post-adoption support via Coram Adoption

- awarding 800 bikes, tandems and adapted trikes to children and young people affected by cancer via Cyclists Fighting Cancer

- supporting research to illustrate the relationship between physical and mental well-being and physical activity in children surviving cancer via Cyclists Fighting Cancer

- tackling the root causes of violent street crime through 18 amazing projects via the Tom Ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust.

If you can donate anything small at all, it would be ever so appreciated.

On that note, I got thinking about destinations and the road to them…
