France 2009 Charity Bike Ride

24th annual charity bike ride in France organised by the Association for Charitable Endeavours, Haying Island in the South of England. A huge thank you to the committee for once again providing such amazing support.
This years ride was challenging due to the weather.
The first day was beautiful....However, on the 2nd day we rode 83 miles in temperatures exceeding 30 degrees in the shade, - not good for us Brits !.
The 3rd day gave us strong winds and bouts of heavy rain for our 97 miles.
Rain continued off and on for the last 75 mile day but the fancy dress kept us all laughing.
Thank you to everyone who so generously sponsored me including, Ros, Dave, Ed, Andy, Josette and Mikee.
We had a great time and will do it again next year.
Lance Armstrong is safe for another season. We still hold on to the yellow raincoats.
