Coast To Coast- Cycle Sat October 2012- Biggest Challenge Yet!
Well yesterday I broke another record and another personal best. - 141km, or 89 miles in 1 go for a cycle from the Scottish west coast town of Ayr to Musselburgh on the East coast just outside Edinburgh. Accompanied by Neil we had a good run and a long day and raised some money for Neuroblastoma Children's Cancer Alliance -
