Huge well done to James it was awesome to ride alongside you in what was a rollercoaster of a ride.

Thank you to our family members who were with us on the day your support was phenomenal.

Huge thanks to Iain and all the team at Boscastle Spar shop for all the support and the champagne at the end, Sharons Plaice for the pizzas and ongoing support through out, all the familiar faces who were there clapping us on and doing reps with us & Finally to Tommy Locker for driving in front of us in the dark when we ran out of light to complete this . It was fantastic to see the Tavistock wheelers and Wadebridge coasters out in force so a huge thanks to you all!

A Quick update with 5 days before the big day !
James has been riding superbly , racing at Westpoint last week and claiming 11th place in the mens 2/3/4 race.
Dan has been knocked back slightly with some illness but is hoping and keeping his fingers crossed for the big day sunday in that he still will be able to carry out the challenge with James
Both have trained consistently and worked hard towards the big day that awaits .

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us, wished us well for the big day & also donated pennies and pounds towards the charities that they are both fundraising for.

We hope to see people whether cyclists or not on the big day Sunday to help us pedal on, and enjoy company with.

Thank You
