About Tour de Force

On 1st August 2009 Dominic Chambers, manager of the only national police children's charity Child Victims of Crime, Ronny Carey, Trustee and Matt Ferguson RFU tag rugby man began their epic journey to cycle to every police headquarters throughout England, Scotland & Wales. The support vehicle is driven by CVOC trustee Steve Johnson.

They are cycling to raise awareness of the charity and its valuable work with the added hope of raising significant funds through individual police forces holding fundraising events.

They are stopping off at each Force Headquarters en route for cheque presentations and press coverage.

If you would like further detailed information of the route and would like to join or sponsor them on a particular leg of the journey please contact info@cvoc.org.uk or phone 01785 227325.

The blog is being updated daily by CVOC trustee Trevor Koschalka.

End of day 13 - Preston - Cumbria

What a day 110 miles from Preston to Penrith via Shap Hill which was a huge climb and seemed to go on for ever. Anyway, we finally made it to the top in the rain and then on into Penrith where we had a fantastic welcome at the Cumbria Police HQ. Matt who was on his first proper day did really well (although don't tell him that).
It was great to see Karen from the CVOC office who drove all the way up on her day off to support us.
Tomorrow, we take on our 3rd country when we arrive in Scotland - and visit Dumfries and Galloway.
