 The MoG-JoG was successfully completed by everyone, although not without some dramas along the way, the most important thing is everyone enjoyed themselves (despite the terrible weather) made new cycling friends and raised lots of money for the charity, in fact the total raised is just short of £34,000!!!
Thank you to everyone who took part and to all their sponsors.
Planning for next years event is underway and information will follow shortly.

The UCAN Bungee Jump will take place on Sunday, July 19, at the 'Motorvation' Exhibition, being held at the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, entries are open to any member of the public who is bold enough to take on the challenge.
Our very own Kate Synott will be taking the plunge and we are hoping to recruit a further 100 daredevils to ensure as much money as possible is raised to help UCAN in its vital work. Kate said "I am absolutely terrified but I can't ask anyone to do something I'm not prepared to do myself!" "Hopefully there are a lot of brave people in Aberdeen City and Shire who are willing to be dropped 300ft from a crane to help raise money for and awareness of urological cancers."
Registration costs £25 and participants will be asked to raise at least £100 in sponsorship. To book your place contact the UCAN office on 01224 559312/553104 or email
