Completing a 40 year old challenge
I came across this hugely inspiring story on the BBC website today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c33p0pd6x2mo
Kudos to these guys, firstly for doing the original trip with virtually no cycling experience and secondly for completing the final leg (a mere 800 miles) when they're in their sixties.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring them, I did a search and found a link to the sponsorship page. I've done a couple of charity rides for Maggie's myself - it's an excellent charity, supporting people diagnosed with cancer: https://www.givewheel.com/fundraisin...cle-challenge/
