We did it! AGAIN!

This year my Cycling Buddy was Debbie, who I met on the ride last year. We have done a lot of training this year and also invested in good road bikes.

Most improved riders trophy

Return to Hayling

We arrived at St Malo early on Tuesday morning and commenced our ride. First stop Rennes. 53 miles through the countryside heading south.

On Wednesday we set out for Angers. this year we left out Laval so we had 97 miles to ride today!

We passed many picturesque fields of sun flowers.

On via Tours, Alencon, Caen and finally on Sunday 18 July to Ouistreham where we caught the Fast Cat back to Portsmouth. 

On the return to Portsmouth on the Fast Cat it is usual to have the Hayling Cycle Ride Award Ceremony. Debbie and I discovered that we had won the 'Most Improved Riders' Trophy this year. We are dead chuffed and very proud of this as we worked hard to improve this year and appreciate it being noticed!

As it is also the 25th anniversary of the ride, we were all given a very nice commemorative cycling jersey.

Once back in Portsmouth 220 of us cycled en mass, through Portsmouth, Cosham, Drayton and Langstone and then via the 'Bridge' to Hayling Island where a 'Welcome Home' reception awaited us.

So far I have raised £650. I don't know yet what the final sum will be. Twenty percent goes to the Hayling Charities and the remainder of the money goes to our chosen Charities. My chosen Charity this year is the British Lung Foundation and the local Breatheasy Group. Please e-mail me if you wish to make a donation.

Thank you to all our supporters.

We are really looking forward to next year.
