Riding from Kingston to Cornwall

What can I say about a perfect day? We had ideal riding weather. No rain, a wind at our back and lots of very enthusiastic riders. This day has always been the one that scared me the most. Not just the fact that it is a 200 Km day, but that it followed a 160 Km day. One of the best parts of today was that every rider completed their ride. The teams pulled together and supported each other on every step of the way. At no time did we every drop a rider. To me this is very similar to the patients and families for who we are riding for… the families and patients stick together as a team and pull together when it counts. I know may of us have never had to face the pain that these patients face, but we hope that what we are doing can make a significant contribution to ending Breast cancer once and for all.
