Brian, Russ, and Steve cycled into the Airedale centre for cake and champagne! There was an interactive display in the centre, covering the whole 9 days of the ride.

The Riders

From Left to Right; Russell Wilkes, Steve Brier, and Brian Thorpe; all are Bus drivers at Keighley and District Ltd and wanted to do something to raise money for the fight against cancer. All three riders prepared for months, both with outdoor training and free gym training provided by Workouts Health Club, Keighley.

The Bikes

The Bikes have been paid for by our employer Keighley and District, and assembled and supplied at a discount by All Terrain Cycles. These are All Terrain's own brand Regal roadbikes. All three bike share the same Regal Jester chromoly frame and Shimano 105 groupset, They have a nine-speed gear cog and triple chainset to give 27-speed setup. The gear shifters are integrated into the brake levers! The tyres are from Continental Tyres. The bikes have slightly different frame sizes and stem lengths to compensate for the different heights of the riders. We thought the saddles looked so hard we used our own!!

The team had great support throughout the ride - thanks Dave and Jim!
