May 2007: Thames Bridges Bike Ride

Jayne Wilkinson writes:  Much to our own amazement, we managed to complete the Thames Bridges Bike Ride - and with only minimal weather damage - it drizzled at the beginning as we pedalled over Tower Bridge and through the City, but then stayed fine (though with extremely muddy tow paths, and consequently v grubby saddles  [yuck!]) until we crossed the finish line at Hampton Court some two-odd hours later. Then the heavens opened and we were COMPLETELY soaked whilst waiting for our 'support vehicle' (aka lovely brother David) to arrive! But we really enjoyed the day and were even more delighted to realise that, with the help and cash of our lovely chums, we've so far raised a total of £543.74.  [more]
