Meet Jamie Turner...

I know what you are thinking, he's a bit of a knob. And you'd be right. But he is. But he also has a lot of good qualities which make him a very good mate. I sometimes forget what they are, especially when I look at this picture, but they're there somewhere.
Jamie is currently taking part in a boot camp in Leigh, with Warrington Wolves's Paul Wood and Garreth Carvell. He is a former amateur boxer, MMA fighter, a junior rugby league player (how we met) so his level of fitness is generally high anyway.
As a pair we are yet to train together for the big ride, but after his boot camp he should have a high level of fitness so that all he needs to do is get used to sitting in the saddle. I have warned him he'll need, at the very least, padded cycling shorts (passing on my own wisdom, there) or else expect a very raw arse halfway through.
I'll post a link to his Just Giving page as soon as he sets it up (he's such a technophobe, or a lazy bastard) but in the mean time if you fancy sponsoring me to complete the 100 miles around Cheshire's countryside, my Just Giving page can be found here.
