Simon Griffiths and Tim Walter – two of Roland’s Three Men on a Bike charity team – donned their lycra suits once again for Carten 100 on Saturday 12 May.

The Carten 100 is an annual charity event in which hundreds of cyclists tackle the 104-mile journey between Cardiff and Tenby.

For Simon and Tim, the challenge was excellent practice for their real task, which starts in August. Joined by fellow Roland director, Peter Heath, Simon and Tim will have just 10 days to cycle the 926 miles from John O’ Groats to Land’s End – that’s works out at 92 miles a day!

Every mile the team cycles gets them closer to their goal of raising £40,000 for Children in Need and Music for All. They’re training hard so if you’d like to show your support, donate now by clicking on the clicking on the column to the right.

Success: Simon and Tim take the weight off at Tenby after 104 miles on the road.

After months of relentless training, the guys are ready for the first test of their abilities.

Tomorrow (Saturday 12 May), Roland Directors Tim and Simon are set to take part in the Carten 100. This is a grueling 100-mile ride along the coast from Cardiff to Tenby – and they only have one day to do it.

With months of training behind them, they’ve got every reason to be confident and if they make it all the way to Tenby, there’s a promise of a well-earned pint with the other riders. If all else fails, that should be enough to keep them going.

Tough as it is, the Carten100 is just a taste of things to come. In August, the team will cycle the 926 miles from John O’ Groats to Lands End. They will have to complete an exhausting 92.6 miles every day. For 10 days!

Of course it’s all for a good cause, and you can sponsor Three Men On a Bike, by clicking on the donate bar to the right. All donations will be split between Music for All and Children in Need.

The directors will take part in the Carten100 ride from Cardiff to Tenby on Saturday 12th May

As the deadline for the Three Men on a Bike challenge approaches, Roland’s Directors have started training in earnest. To prove they’re confidence is growing (as their waistlines shrink), Tim Walter, Simon Griffiths and Peter Heath have signed up to take part in the Carten 100 on 12 May.

The team will have just one day to cycle 100 miles from Cardiff to Tenby. Joining hundreds of fellow cyclists, the challenge should give them a taste of what awaits in August, when they’ll cycle from John O’ Groats to Land’s End – a total of 600 miles.

As they’ve all been putting in plenty of time in the saddle, the scenic ride should reveal a team at the height of the powers – and if it proves thirsty work, the day traditionally ends with a well-earned pint in Tenby.

The team hopes to raise £40,000 for musical instrument charity, Music For All and Children In Need when it hit the road in August.
