Story
******UPDATE******
Well, we did it!
108 miles over 2 days for the mountain bikers
198 miles for the road riders
All present and accounted for - no injuries, lots of carb-gels, a few beers and many great memories! (a few photos below)
A HUGE thank you to everyone who sponsored us, and there's still time for any last-minute generosity if you haven't.
Right...suggestions now being taken for next years challenge ;)

Thanks for taking the time to visit the SCX Spinners' JustGiving page.
Last year 3 colleagues took the challenge to ride coast to coast from St Bee's in Cumbria to Whitby in North Yorkshire raising funds for the Weston Park Charity in recognition of their work and for 2 of them in gratitude for the care they experienced for their loved ones.
After the challenge was completed in inspirational fashion, it was decided that the event shouldn't be a one-off, so the gauntlet was thrown down: 'Next year, let's do Coast to Coast...and back!'
The ride has not only grown to include some more eager participants, including SCX Group MD Simon Eastwood, but also a second challenge: in addition to the road ride, this year there will be another party doing Coast to Coast off-road, on mountain bikes.
The event takes place across the weekend of 10th and 11th August 2013, with the teams as follows:
Road Ride
Danny Pickard, Johnny Stephenson, John Hill, Simon Eastwood, Duncan Randall, Paul Netherwood and supported by Mark Hollis and John Biggin.
MTB Ride
Craig Mullen, Mark Foster, Danny Towers, Robinn Walsh, Thomas Gamble, Kenny Goude, India McKellar, James Eastwood, Rob Vickers, Nick Hewitt, Rachel Nolson, Bernice Cowton, Dan Salthouse and supported by Sam Lacey and Dave Kilner
So please dig deep and and support each individual and donate now.
On behalf of the rest of SCX Group, we wish all participants the very best of luck, and have a fantastic time!
