My story

I’ve decided to do a virtual cycle from Vogrie Hall (home of St David’s Brass) to York Barbican (venue for the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, to support St David’s Brass to raise much needed funds to compete this year, having qualified at the Scottish Championships earlier this year!
 
This is a huge challenge as I intend to cover the 214 miles it takes to get there, in my spare time, in just 7 days. The route is generated in ‘Ride with GPS’ and takes me on back roads, up hill and down dale through the Scottish Borders to Tyneside and on to Yorkshire. There is 9000 ft of climbing along the route for me to drag my 80k body up - wish me luck!
 
Any donations you can spare would be greatly appreciated, we’re delighted to have the chance to represent Scotland on the national stage and endeavour to do you all proud. 
 
Thank you so much for any and all support, it means a lot to both myself and the band… we’ll keep you updated on my virtual journey south… 
 
Thanks again,
 
Keith

Congratulations Keith and a huge thank you!

What an effort 🙌👏🙌 … over 30 miles in the bag on Sunday … completing a week’s worth of pedalling and taking Keith virtually up hill and down dale from our very own Vogrie Hall, to the York Barbican, all in support of our fundraising ahead of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain in September!

Multi-tasking level: turning pages while turning pedals!
Another 30 miles smashed on Wednesday! Keith giving it some serious pedal power which saw him make it to Felton as planned. The next stop will take Keith just past Newcastle.
To all the people who have donated so far - thank you so much!! Our current total is sitting at £508 which we are very grateful for … and edging ever closer to Keith’s target! 🙌🤩🙌
