Inter Services Sportive Challenge

 

The Chairman of the "Field Gunner's Association"

Bugs Wrightson is taking on the Pongo's, Crab's, Firemen, Police & Ambulance Teams

in a 125 Mile Cycle Ride,

combining the event to raise Money for

the Rowans Hospice

 

Many thanks to all who sponsored me today; it was particularly poignant as a friend of mine passed away in Rowans Hospice last week after (thankfully) short battle with cancer.

 

I did the 128 miles (the organisers lied about the distance), and it was bloody hilly!  As far as the anatomy is concerned, the legs and bum are fine but my feet hurt!  Time for some new cycling shoes I guess.

Once again, many thanks.  I'm indebted to you all.
