The cyclists included three members of Message staff, Alan Saunders, Gary Bolton and Nathan Milnes. Alan and Gary (pictured) added an extra challenge by cycling the whole route together – on a tandem!

Comments Gary, ‘I was exhausted by the end of it, but I’m really glad I did it. It was a big achievement.’

Well done and a big thankyou to everyone who took part.
