KESWICK to KIRKSTALL... THE LAKES to LEEDS SOLO BIKE RIDE
SATURDAY JUNE 30, 2012 - 5AM TO 1PM (hopefully!)
Vic Gibson - dad of KECC player Joe Gibson - will set off on a bike from his home in Keswick in the Lake District at 5am and try to cycle all the way to Leeds.
His aim is to arrive at KECC in time for the start of our first-team fixture at home to Ben Rhydding at 1pm, which gives him exactly 8 hours to complete the 100-mile ride.
It is worth pointing out that Vic will be 52 years of age - and weighing it at around 16 stone - when he attempts to tackle the Lakeland fells, Yorkshire dales and Pennines !
With this in mind, we are asking players, members and friends of KECC to support Vic by sponsoring him to complete his fund-raising ride.
And in the spirit of the challenge, please offer to donate double the amount if he arrives in time to see the first ball of the game bowled.
All proceeds will go to KECC to provide funds for an electronic scoreboard at the Field of Dreams.
