The cyclists from left to right are :- Graham Wilson, David Leach, Oliver Wilson(16), Richard Procter, Edward Wilson (14) William Wilson (13). The distance of 63 miles was covered in 4 hours and 40 minutes. The event which may become an annual one was conceived by Richard Procter in gratitude to Saint Michael’s Hospice for the wonderful care received by his mother Patricia before passing away in January this year. Donations to this worthy cause may be made by visiting http://www.justgiving.com and entering “R-Procter” in the search box.
