Velo South 2018 · 23 September 2018 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On September 23rd three family members will be riding in the charity event , The Velo South 100 mile bike ride. It's a challenging ride that climbs over 1500m during the 100 mile circuit.
Our team is:
Philip Dawes .
A former Royal Marine recovering from PTSD, Skin Cancer, spinal surgery and loads of other stuff including more surgery 3 weeks ago! Cycling has been his aid to recovery. You can read more about Phils story here: http://www.thresholdsports.co.uk/2017/08/23/more-is-in-you-award-winner .
Prue Holgate
Prue will be 17 when she takes part in the ride. She's a tough, determined, little cyclist that likes nothing more than blasting past middle age men on expensive bikes using her trusty 8 geared racer. Her longest ride to date is 70 miles and she's tiny so has no where to store the energy needed to cover this distance.
Pete Holgate
A couple of years ago he cycled a lot. But, a job change meant that cycling over the last few years has been less and less frequent to the point where training for this event was limited to a few rides on holiday and he's carrying more lbs than he really needs to to get up the hills.
So it's going to be tough and painful and we'd love you to spend a moment to read this page and support us and donate to our chosen charity please. ... Anyone that want's to place a bet on how many hours or minutes Prue will finish ahead of her older "chaperone's" should contact Dawsie for the
odds .
