Saturday - York - Bridlington, 60 miles. They made it. Thankfully weather not so hot today and not so many hills to climb. Met up with 2 of their families at Burton Agnes Hall for well earned cake and only 9 miles to go. Malcolm's 12 year old nephew Morgan wanted to cycle the last mile with them for Gemma and met up with them just short of the end. 4 very weary, but happy guys at the end of their trip - Gemma very proud of all of them. And so are we - thank you Malcolm, Colin, Guy & Simon - it really means a lot! Jo x
Friday - Day 2 completed - made it to York, 110 miles down, 60 to go. It was Hot Hot Hot today, and bottoms are starting to get very sore - but the worst is over and it's all (mostly!) downhill from here. Thanks for all your support - target now reached which is amazing.
Thursday - Well, that's the first day done! 50 miles cycled, they survived the hills, mainly! Treated themselves to a cider and slice of cake a few miles from Grassington so they can't feel that bad!! Grassington to York, 60 miles, tomorrow! Thank you so much for all your kind donations. 81% of target reached and climbing.....
A group of dads, Malcolm Duncan, Colin Shepherd, Simon Wilsdon and Guy Cooper (with road support from Dave Tinkler) are cycling the Way of the Roses bike ride - 170 miles from Morecambe to Bridlington - over 3 days at the beginning of June to raise money for the Moebius Research Trust (MRT) charity.

Malcolm's daughter Gemma has Moebius Syndrome, a very rare condition that affects about 200 people in the UK. This means there is very little research into it. The MRT has been set up to raise money to fund research into what causes this condition. For more information you can visit www.moebiusresearchtrust.org
