Photos! 12th June
The photos are starting to come in!
I am looking to pop together a web based gallery of pictures which have been taken; meantime, here are a couple links.
Firstly is Rob Puig's- the official event photographer- galleries. Rob was a great bloke all day, and we thank him for all his help.
We have also had some pictures set up from Richard Harris of beatyourpb.com which you can find here- once again, thank you Richard for allowing us to link to them.
So now it's back to you! If you have photos OR VIDEO from Sunday's great event, please send them to me at simon@coast-coast.co.uk , and we will set them up in a gallery.
Devon Coast to Coast Challenge 2008-Best Yet!9th June
All we can say is- THANK YOU! Thank you to the riders, their supporters, our supporters, Sian Lloyd (for the weather, dummy)- and anyone who had ANYTHING to do with Sunday's ride- totally epic!
BUT!
VERY exciting plans about next year- so keep your eyes open on this site for updates and announcements here as they come out!
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Two things!
Most importantly, get your sponsorship money (minimum £50- no maximum) to Emma at the Hospice- you should have been given an envelope to pop a cheque in at registration. PLEASE include your sponsorship form (which you can get here)- even if just donating the minimum figure- as this gives the Hospice chance to claim Gift Aid- this makes a substantial difference!
Once collected, please send (with your name on it!) or drop in to Emma at-

Team Home 2 Home23rd March
In July this year 4 friends will set off on a 325 mile cycle ride to raise money for Parkinson's Disease and Asthma. The ride will commence from Margate in Kent and finish in Barnstaple 4 days later.
Andy Unstead, Tony Vesty, Ian McAra and Ian Dowling are all training hard and are looking forward to riding this years Coast to Coast route to ensure that they are all up to the 4 day challenge.
The riders are under no illusion that their ride will be both mentally and physically challenging but will set off on the ride remembering that "no matter how much of a challenge this event is for us, it is nothing compared to the daily challenges faced by peoples suffering with Parkinson's and Asthma"
The team ask that you take a few minutes, as fellow cyclists, to have a look at their web site at
www.home-2-home.org.uk and donate to these 2 worthy charities.
