Surrey Chef gears up for charity bike ride

Monday 1 September 2008

John Walter, Head Chef at the University of Surrey's Lakeside Restaurant, will be cycling nearly 80 miles on Saturday 6 September to raise money for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).

The Southwest Randonee is an off-road endurance event across the challenging terrain of the Quantock Hills and Exmoor. The circular ride will encompass a variety of single track, uphill climbs and downhill sections of the West Country.

The sponsored event will create funds for the charity and help the BHF raise vital money to fund life-saving heart research in the UK.  Anyone wishing to show their support and sponsor John can do so at: http://www.bhf.org.uk/donate/sponsor_a_friend.aspx
