Following lots of 'momentum' on the guest book, we are pleased to say that the 2009 Jersey competition is still going! We have set the closing date at 31st September 2009, to allow for this year's class to join in.

Even bigger news- they have their own page! Click here to see the entrants!

To enter yourself, please email me a picture and background story.

Good luck!

Lost property-left in the van on the day is this helmet. Is it yours? If so- claim quickly! As usual, simon@coast-coast.co.uk.

Also left is a black bag of children's clothes, marked (strangely enough) 'Children's clothes.'

What a great day! We are SO pleased that we never held the event on Saturday!

We do hope that you all enjoyed the event, and are looking forwards to next year's ride.

Just remains a couple things to do-

- Send Emma your funds raised ASAP- here is the address again-

Emma Lowe
Devon Coast to Coast Challenge 2009
North Devon Hospice
Deer Park
Newport, Barnstaple
Devon, EX32 0HU

Don't forget it is a minimum £50 raised per rider. Unfortunately, not all riders last year sent their money in; as these funds are vital for the running of the Hospice, we will be monitoring the situation for this year.

- Send your pictures and videos to simon@coast-coast.co.uk , so we can post them up at the 2009 Summary page (there are some there already- including a link to the event Photographer Rob Puig's page- can you see yourself there?)

We are very proud to announce that we have now on board supporting the ride those great people at Perrins Ltd, chartered accountants.

It is through supporters like this that the ride is able to take place, so please- if you get a chance- use their services. You can visit their website here.

It is also great to see that once again- for the 4th year- Edd's Fruit and Veg will be supporting the ride, through vans and bananas.

Not only that but they now have a website- why not take a look?

Southfork in Braunton now have 3 shirts in Medium, XL and 3XL and will soon have one of every size. S,M,L,XL, XXL and XXXL. These are not for sale but for sizing. If too big or small, then go for one size larger or smaller.

If you would like a jersey for the 2009 ride please pop in and try one on and then email Mark with the size required at markhenderson12@hotmail.com

Jerseys are now £32 due to the strong Euro but are still just as lovely and top quality with 3/4 length zip, 3 pockets, cycling cut and high wicking properties.

BE SEEN IN ONE NOW! (And don't forget- if you have one, you get to start at the front of this year's ride!)

Following our reckie ride yesterday along the last 15 miles of this years route, we have launched a directional video, which can be found here. It shows the route which both groups will take on the approach into Exeter, through the city, and onto the end- we hope it helps, and inspires you!

Today see's the launch of the Justgiving Page for the 2009 event.

You can use this page to donate or collect funds for the 2009 ride, or even pay any funds still owing for the 2008 ride- it all goes into the North Devon Hospice pot.

We have found that this is a fresh and easy way to get your funds in quickly- so why not tell you friends?

The page can be reached here, or by clicking the button along the top menu bar.
