Thanks as ever to everyone who helped us - Liphook Guides, Liphook Scouts, Petersfield ATC, St John Ambulance, and loads and loads of unnamed individuals who turn out to help with marshalling the ride and generally helping it all run smoothly. Also all our sponsors - principally Owens Cycles.
Please remember to start collecting your sponsorship money and paying it into the bank using the coded slips provided in your rider pack.
