Lands end John O Groats.....
Discussion
On a bicycle:
Ian Hughes, General Manager of Scott Sports SA (UK Branch) will undertake a 960 mile cycle across Great Britain starting Saturday June 21st from Land’s End to John o’Groats over 9 days.
Ian (age 54) will be raising awareness and funds for the Colin McRae Vision, and will join up with WRC competitor Matthew Wilson, his co-driver Scott Martin and their fitness trainer Barry Johnson for the duration of the ride.
Colin McRae was tragically killed along with his son Johnny and 2 close friends whilst flying his helicopter last year. The Colin McRae Vision is a charity which has recently been established, and will raise money both for children’s charities identified by the Trustees, and also to identify, support and promote young motorsport talent in the UK.
Ian struck up a friendship with Colin when they were introduced at a Rally test in 1998. From that period, Colin used SCOTT bikes and equipment as part of his fitness training. Colin officially opened the Wold Cup Downhill course at Fort William riding a SCOTT High Octane Downhill bike, and regularly trained on Scott mountain and road bikes.
Ian Hughes said “I have always wanted to complete the challenge of cycling from Lands End to John o’Groats before I got too old, and when the Colin McRae Vision was announced by his family after his tragic accident, I thought now is the time to make plans”. Hughes went on to say “I ran the idea passed Matthew Wilson a while ago, and he also liked the idea of the challenge, so we went about setting dates around his busy WRC calendar.”
