DAY 1
Riders were up and keen at 7.00am, ready for the start of their epic 874 mile journey! After a quick breakfast and a final equipment check, everybody made their way to the John O’Groats signpost. After a few photographs, they lined up along the official start line and they were off....
What a fantastic total to mark the end of our 21st Wooden Spoon Four Peaks Challenge.
In reality most of the hard work had been done before everyone gathered at the foot of Ben Nevis, not only had hundreds of ft of training been completed in the preceding months, but herculean fundraising and sponsorship efforts had been made by all of the challengers with each team pledging to raise a minimum of £4400 in order to guarantee their place.
What a fantastic total to mark the end of the hugely successful Wooden Spoon BikeFest! Rugby Celebrities showed their support by completing the ride alongside our challengers, the sun shone over the finish line and locals from Wootton Bassett joined the cyclist’s friends and families to make the finish line festival a night to remember.
Martin Corry, Leicester Tigers and former England captain is teaming up with Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby, to partake in the Wooden Spoon BikeFest (June 19), a one-day, multi-route cycle ride combined with an evening festival, which is being held in aid of disabled and disadvantaged youngsters and their families.
