    Cheese Eating Bike Monkeys Pedal For Water Aid

    Two local leithers and long time supporters of Greener Leith, Richard Cross and his partner, have embarked on fantastic challenge - to cycle the 1500Km from Paris to Barcelona. And whilst we're very jealous of the fact that they'll have a chance to eat as much glorious euro-cheese as they want, safe in the knowledge that their arteries will stay unfurred - they are doing it for a good cause too.

    Richard, being an all round media genius, has set up a fantastic website where you can follow their progress. But what they really, really, want is for Leithers to sponsor them. You can sponsor them on-line here: http://www.justgiving.com/paris-barcelona/

    This is a massive effort by Rick and Helen who are friends of mine in Edinburgh. They have already travelled some 400kilometers and have some way to go! To get diary updates (informative it has to be said) of progress and some snaps goto www.richardx.co.uk

    Good luck Rick and Helen - see you soon you saddle sore Leithers!

    Thanks to all at Greener Leith for messages of support.

    We completed the trip last week and are now back in (sadly no so) sunny Leith.
    We have so far raised a brilliant £1315 for WaterAid, it appears all that cheese was worthwhile :-)
