Far from a Long Drag - well done everyone!!

Well, this past week has most definitely not been a 'Long Drag!!' Although the day's were hard cycling along some very hilly roads, a great time was had by every member of the team.
The choice of the tandem to do the ride proved to be a good move. We were able to scoot along the roads at a fair old pace, which enabled us to get to our destinations ahead of schedule each day.

James was introduced to the best parts of England (Devon and Cornwall) where we played beach football at Hayle and took in the sights of Penzance, Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth. Being in Devon and Cornwall we were guaranteed to have fine weather as it never rains back home!!!!!.

As we travelled along the A303 through Wiltshire, James was intrigued at the pile of granite rubble dumped along Salisbury Plain that hundreds of people seemed to be interested in!! Yes you guessed it - it was Stonehenge.

It's taken a long time to get all the preparations sorted for the ride but because everything was in place, accommodation, equipment and all the planning taken care of (police awareness and routes etc) everything went so smoothly thus making it a very enjoyable and not just worthwhile week.

My personal thanks goes out to the following people: Will Brown and the team at the Sandy Balls Cycle Centre Fordingbride; Halfords; Haven Holidays; TA Centres Bodmin, Exeter and Farnham; RNAS Yeovilton; AAC Middle Wallop; Sainsbury's; Tesco; Morrisons; Cashbox; all the personal donations people have made online and lastly to the team ... Nick, Brian, James and JJ.

We look forward to collating all the money collected through the ride and collecting other donations to add it to the Just giving total to see what our grand total raised will be. One thing I do know, Winston's Wish are delighted that we undertook this ride on their behalf and it's a pleasure to raise money for such a worthy cause.

Thankyou ..
