Colin's Hand-Bikes@Dawn '15: Expedition Skiddaw
Fundraising for Mawddach Rotary Club
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Here it is, the next in the HB@D saga. Our prime objective
is, as ever, to host a good rufty-toughty hand-bike challenge on a
classic MTB route;
On Saturday 25th April, I will be guiding on of the four disabled riders, who will be pitting their strength and nerve against the Lake District's fearfully steep Skiddaw mountain on specially designed off-road hand-cycles.

With a range of personal challenges ranging
from the technically challenging 11 km of the 'Over' route, to the full
horror of 'Up and Over' . The latter route, at 20 km, will
represent around 8 hours effort, taking in over a kilometer of ascent
and gradients approaching 30%.
As in previous years, our friends at Mawddach Rotary Club have offered to host our fundraising activities:
Our collection will be divided as follows:
30% 'Challenge your Boundaries' adaptive MTB project
30% Walking with the Wounded
30% Walking with the Wounded
30% Aberdyfi Search & Rescue Team
10% Mawddach Rotary Club
