Jon gets on his bike again

As news of the route of the Tour de France’s Grand Depart through Yorkshire emerged yesterday our very own Jon Ellis has revealed he will be doning the lycra again and getting on his bike.
Jon, however, will not be joining the Tour de France’s peleton. Instead he is opting to do his third charity bike ride in aid of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance – one of Ferno’s chosen charities.
He has signed up for The Pedal for Pounds 4 bike ride  from Huddersfield through Hull, Scarborough, Harrogate and back to  Huddersfield in aid of the Keep It Up campaign. It costs £7,200 per day to keep both Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopters operational all from charitable funds.
The bike ride, which will leave Huddersfield on the morning of Wednesday, May 1 will see more than 300 cyclists making the three-and-a-half day journey to arrive at John Smiths Stadium, Huddersfield on Saturday, May 4 in time for Town’s last home game of the season.
Every donation counts so if you wish to support Jon and the campaign you can donate here at Just Giving.
