At 9am on the morning of 3rd July 2016, five (Simon Massey, Rob Hopkinson, Tom Welch, Fraser Thomson and Christian Blackwell) lycra-wearing forty-something wannabes departed from Hendaye on the French Atlantic Coast to embark upon the “Raid de Pyrénéen”
After a gruelling 5 days of thundering hailstones and blistering sunshine, painful ascents and thrilling descents, spectacular views, burst tyres, a broken gear cassettes and a wipe out, they have made it!! Total time in the saddle 31 hours 35 minutes, average speed 22.8km/hr, 720km covered and 11,769meters climbed. They are “bonked” but thrilled with their achievement and the money raised in memory of Rob. Thanks so much for all your support.
