How do you get from the Brit Oval to Lord's without crossing the Thames? Six intrepid cyclists are about to prove it can be done and all in a good cause.

They are cycling from Kennington to St John's Wood the long way round, taking in all 18 first-class county headquarters - a trip of more than 1,000 miles over 16 days.

The tour has been devised by two cricket writers who spend most of their time pedalling opinions on the game: David Lloyd of the London Evening Standard and Colin Bateman of the Daily Express.

They will be joined by former Sun cricket scribe Ian Todd, and making up the peloton are Alan Dracey, a keen cricket fan and civil servant from Lewes, and two of Colin's sons, Tom and Jack.
