I started taking part in this event to raise funds that might have helped my Grandad stay around a bit longer. But over all the years of doing this ride I have been fortunate enough ride with some fantastic friends and to meet up with others who have great compelling reasons for doing the ride  - one year, I rode the first 10 miles with a chap who used to always do the ride with his wife, but she had died the previous year with heart diease. Please support this cause it is so important that everyone gets every minute with thier loved ones. Lets make a difference!
