WE DID IT! Yes, 911 miles cycled in 6 days, over 37,000 feet of climbing, 20 punctures and 1 broken arm but on Friday 28th June 2014, 10 out of our awesome 11 cyclists completed their objective of cycling from Cardiff to the other 4 Capital Cities of the UK and Ireland in just 5 days. They then went on to complete the circuit by riding a further 165 miles from North Wales back into Cardiff on Saturday 29th June. This could not have been achieved without the amazing support of so many:
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The drivers and riders of the support and safety team / the sponsors who kept us on the road (Renovate, Cawdor cars, Tesco, Shufflebottoms, Welsh Soup Company, Cycle Specific, Ken Williams, Urban Cyclery and so many more) / Coleg Sir Gar for providing our Sports Masseurs without whom we could not have completed the Challenge / and the family and friends who supported us during the many training times and for the week it took us to complete it. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! And especially you who have taken the time to contribute to our chosen charity, Ty Hafan Children's Hospice.
The Capital Challenge 5x5 team consists of a group of ordinary people who are striving to complete something extraordinary in order to raise funds for the only Children's Hospice in Wales providing for respite and end of life care for children from all over Wales.
