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 21

Only three days to go and we are now getting really tired and the punctures seem to be happening more often. Matt had another one first thing this morning and it was thanks to Allison from Humberside Police who took him off to a cycle shop and gave him breakfast whilst it was repaired and we pressed on with the 'tour '.
Great support from the RFU again today with Hamish Pratt, James McKay and Neil Spencer from the Community Team riding with us and helping us in particular on the section to Wakefield.
We had a great welcome at Lincolnshire Police HQ who as well as their presentation are providing us with accommodation.
Tomorrow we press on to Ripley in Derbyshire, Nottingham, Leicester and Northampton which I am told is 143 miles!
