Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We did it!!! We started our ride at 07:00am after some amazing baked goodies made by Alex. The pace was good and the team was rolling on high spirits. London was left behind and we entered the Surrey Hills about one hour and half later. We have reached the Peaslake area when we suffered our first casualty of the day, some challenging gravity terrain made Alex go over the handlebars in one of hardest parts of the route. But like a trooper after a few moments to compose herself (see photo on justgiving site) she got back on the bike with just one brake working and carried on. Time for Lunch!!! Our second crashed to place on another fast pacing section, Taylan vs Tree, Taylan won!!! All smooth riding during the Sussex stage, until just before 10miles to go a nasty tyre puncture slowed us down. Tyre repaired and we made our way towards the sea front. We have reached the finish line, 10 hours have gone by this time and the pain in our rears reminds us of that!!! Of to the pub to celebrate…

Thank you all for your support and encouragement, if you were waiting to see if would complete the challenge before make your donation now it’s the time to do it. Please take a look at our JustGiving page that also contains some photos from the day:

Welcome to the “The Pedal Medics” (Kirsty, Alex, Neil, Taylan & Nuno) page. We normally use our MTB bikes to get to medical emergencies in some of the crowded and busiest roads in world. But this time we will be attempting the off-road version of the classic London to Brighton bike ride as we will be tackling 75 miles (or more if we get lost) and climbing over 1250 metres using our pedal power to raise funds to fight heart disease.
Join us in spirit or for an after-ride pint on the beach front of Brighton!
In any case... please dig deep and donate now!!!!
Thank you
The Pedal Medics
