Well, they did it! It wasn’t snowing…but it was very cold and windy on Sunday morning as the first of the bike-trains left Morrison’s Car Park.

The other 3 bike trains followed on at 15minute intervals – it was just too cold to be waiting around.

Each bike train, supported by a number of additional riders set off at a fantastic pace, and in every case the target time of 2.5hrs was completely smashed. The fastest time was just 1hr 40min 26secs!!!!

Thank you so much to the supporters who turned out at Morrison’s, and en-route up at the Whitehouse. The sound of the cow-bell as we reached the top of that first big climb, really helped spur us on.

At this point, donations to this site have reached just over £900 – thank you so so much for this. Every penny will help towards replacing the pilot bikes and keeping these guys enjoying cycling for as long as they are able

We really need your help to raise a good amount towards the £27,000 cost of the 4 specialist ebikes and any amount you can spare will be greatly appreciated!.
