On Friday 7th June, 23 brave cyclists began a gruelling 760mile challenge to raise money for Wooden Spoon, the Children's Charity of Rugby.

While many of you enjoyed a day in the garden or a walk in the park on sunny Sunday 21st April, Wooden Spoon supporters gathered in London to cheer on Spoon's 15 runners who all completed the 26 mile 385 yard course of the 33rd London Marathon.

In its 7th year of running, the landmark Wooden Spoon End 2 End cycle challenge is at risk of being cancelled due to a low level of entrants and we need YOUR HELP!

Why not show your support of Wooden Spoon by purchasing one of these fabulous Spoon branded OPRO mouthguards, where 12.5% of every purchase will be donated to the charity.

The prospect of completing 4 mountains in 48 hours is indeed a daunting one! The beginning of our adventure started at 4am (silly o'clock!) when we met our cab driver. We then endured a speedy drive to Luton airport and caught our 7am flight to Glasgow- and upon arrival at the airport we were met by our legendary driver Charles and the one and only Phil Vickery, the Raging Bull himself!

Thanks to his meteoric rise to become England Coach, the fact that Stuart Lancaster, a staunch Spoon supporter of Spoon, competing in last years Ford Ranger Great Lakeland Challenge has gone relatively unnoticed. It wasn't until flicking through last years photo's in preparation for Phil Vickery competing in it this year, that we noticed Stuart slogging around the course with his team.

Congratulations and thank you to the 15 Spoon runners at the 32nd London Marathon, who all completed the 26 mile 385 yard course all in aid of Spoon.

Phil Vickery looks set to turn his considerable talents to raising money for Wooden Spoon…and wants you to join him!

Preparations for the 2012 Challenges are well under way with the London Marathon less than 6 months down the line. But are you 'Up for the Challenge?'
