Title: London Bikeathon 2013 - a few pics!
Post by: griff on September 15, 2013, 06:13 PM

Here are a few pics from a great day out with a top bunch of lads  :daumenhoch:
Managed the 26 miles in about 3.5 hours, quicker than expected but we didn't have a pint until the end  ;) we were quite lucky with the weather, bit drizzly at times but the proper rain didn't come until just after we finished.
Was great overtaking some of the MAMILS on our little bikes too!

Many thanks for all the donations, it's a cause close to my heart so the support really means a lot

Riders Ready, Pedals Ready!

9 miles in and Brett's chain popped off, we were soon on our way again

Got to the Rose & Crown for a Sunday Roast just before the heavens really opened!
Dinner was average tbh but at that stage I would have eaten my own arm

There should be a few more pics along in a bit, Matt hope you have a safe run back to Liverpool and your shins aren't too sore

Very late update, since I've been waiting for a promised donation to come in - was £100, so worth waiting for!

Just to let you know the final total for Team RAD (incl Gift Aid) was a whopping £1,746.37 - not bad for a few hours' riding around the town ;)

Thanks again to everyone who gave their support for a great cause and to a fantastic bunch of lads that made the ride a pleasure - looking back it was definitely one of my highlights of 2013
