Avondale Staff completes London to Brighton charity cycle ride
When someone mentioned the London to Brighton back in December, the idea sounded great with eight members of the Avondale team signing up. A rigorous training schedule was put together and then promptly forgotten.
An early start was required on Sunday 18 June to get to Clapham Common for our start time of 9am. Arriving at the start line we were greeted by a sea of riders and bikes, as far as the eye could see. At a little after 9am, we set off in convoy on the start of our 54 mile trip to Brighton.
The whole event was very well organised, with regular official refreshments points for the 28,000 participants. One of the most amazing sights on the way, was a cycle jam, when the route moved to some of the more narrow rural roads.
A fun day was had by all, with most of our riders completing the route in less than six hours, with no major injuries, apart from a little being saddle sore.
