My goodness!!!!
That cycle trail was hard enough in good weather - tho we had fantastic views - we did it over 3 days and had a great time.
Wish all your lot well and hope the weather doesnt put too much of a dampner on it xxx |

In one hit
Defo take the Kayaks - be easy going down hill, lol
Hope they have a good time 
I had a sore arse and sore legs after those 3 days - but fond memories and lack of photo's.
One girl went to hospital going too fast down one of the hills, but none of us were fit - we all just did it for charity. |

Well,further to the Charity Bike Ride, they did it!!!
Set off from Saint Bees beach car park (couldn't get to Whitehaven) at 6.30am Sat,got to Roker Pier,Sunderland
20hrs 59minutes later.
It was wind,rain and darkness most of the way too.
Three cyclists competed,one poor guy got 15 miles from the finish but had to pull out with borderline hypothermia.
He was soaked,shivering uncontrolably,could hardly speak etc,so got the foil blanket treatment.
He was gutted but did brilliantly when you consider he hadn't trained and just borrowed a bike for this event.
The two to finish were a Marine Reservest who has seen action in Iraq and Afganistan and an ex Para,so there was a question of honour I think  .
Anyway,they've raised a fair amount of cash for Help For Heroes and Macmillan Nurses.
Well done lads!
