Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. 520 miles from Laon near Reimes to Annecy in the Alps.
Well its all over for another year , the weather was perfect, the scenery was fantastic and the teams legs were well exercised by the end!
We managed 9,312 metres of accent over 3 days (Everest is 8,848 metres)
There were some great downhill stretches with swift decents.
( One team had a tri bike with 3 up and reached 53 mph ! )
Unfortunately Gill went over the handlebars on her last leg of the second day and broke her arm , suffered a black eye and bruises. Somehow she still managed to smile and navigate on the 3rd day while the remaining 3 of us covered 162 miles to Annecy.
This year donations will be split 50% to MacMillan Cancer Care and Cancer Research UK and 50% to "The White Ribbon Alliance" ( http://www.whiteribbonalliance.org/ ) which is an international coalition bound together by a common goal: to ensure that pregnancy and childbirth are safe for all women and newborns in every country around the world.
Many thanks for all your support , Hugh, Suzanne , Karen & Gill.
