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 17

Another day and we are on the downward run towards London. We had fantastic hospitality last night at the Strathburn Hotel, Inverurie where we not only were given free meals and discounted accommodation but also a donation from a golden wedding anniversary party.
Today was a hard day we cycled down to Aberdeen and then on towards Dundee we were cycling into a stiff headwind all day so it made it much harder and probably doubled the distance we went, it was nice when it was time to stop this evening at about 6.30pm.
Once again it was made all worth while when we visited Grampian Police HQ in Aberdeen and were given another fantastic presentation and reception.
Tomorrow we go on to Dundee, Glenrothes and Edinburgh.
