Our friends at the Council for Administration have been incredibly supportive of us - they very kindly sponsored one of our sleeves on our cycling tops and they are running features on us in their monthly ebriefing...
Yippppeeeeeeeeeeee - our sponsored shirts arrived today and here is the first of several pics (all courtesy of Val's husband Bob who was acting as our offical photographer today) to show them off :) Highlighted in the pic below is the Apprenticeships & Train to Gain branding - sponsored by the Learning and Skills Council (thanks Viv). This shot is being used by The Institute of Customer Service in their magazine coming out next month...

We cycled from Irchester to Rushden, down the A6 towards Bedford, through Souldrop, down through the Knottings into Melchbourne and then onto Yelden and Shelton before heading back home - another good ride :)
As ever, you can see all the pics on our Flickr page...
