Chaingang bike shop in Lower Clapton organised a sponsored bike ride from London to Edinburgh to raise money for our Special Care Baby Unit. The 18 strong team consisting of both staff and customers took just 3 days to reach their final destination and raised over £3000.

This was the only time I've done a team ride, and I don't remember much about it. Day 1 was the hardest I think. We set off at some horrible hour in the morning, stopping off for lunch in Royston. the rest of the 150 miles is a blur of rough roads, rain and having to go through Peterborough again. I was glad to get to lincoln that night. I enjoyed my curry, knowing that I was now the kind of person who can cycle 150 miles.
