This years event was a Quiz Night held at the Edinburgh Sports Club on 2 June in aid of Marie Curie Care. What an absolute cracking night that raised over £900!
Again the ESC was at capacity as 15 teams of 6 were entered. Bruce and myself were the Quiz-Master's for the evening. I honestly still think it was one of the greatest night's I've ever had. Thanks to everyone who came and all those organisations who donated a prize. See you all next year!
The Chain-Spokers are back for 2012! We are again supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Edinburgh Hospice which they run.
This year we are hosting a Pub Quiz on 2nd June @ the Edinburgh Sports Club. Matt & Bruce will be your Quiz Master's for the night so if you are in Edinburgh get yourself along for a great night!
I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I did editing it. It brought back so many great memories of a tough challenge that 6 friends completed together. So proud of all the boys. Much of the trip was a gruelling grind with many hours everyday in the saddle but it was also a lot of fun at the same time. There are certainly many funny stories that I will never forget!
The music featured in the video is 'Gimme Shelter' by the Rolling Stones & 'Feel So Close' by Calvin Harris. The soundtrack was maybe one of the trickiest tasks to get right for the video but I believe they capture our feelings perfectly - that is the tough physical challenge of riding 989 miles together in our shared objective of raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care and remembering the life of Alison Hannah.

What dropped through my letterbox this morning took me by surprise. It was the latest Daniel Stewart's and Melville College Newsletter for Former Pupils. The school in Edinburgh where I met fellow Chain Spokers Bruce, Nick and Grum and the place where all this began. I had forgotten I had be in touch with the editor and submitted an article and some photographs of our LEJOG and fundraising efforts and as I leafed through the glossy pages of the new Magazine format there we were grinding up a hill to the spectacular backdrop of the Scottish Highlands...
