Festive 500 for Alzheimer's Society film
Hello
On 26th & 30th December I rode 538km to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society.
The journey headed South West from Bath on 26th December, over Exmoor to Ilfacombe on the North Devon coast. From there I headed South across Devon, over Dartmoor to the South coast at Salcombe. Then it was the final push North East for just over 200km, through Exeter, Taunton and Bridgewater, finishing in Thornbury, North Bristol.
Strava members, including members of Road.cc's Strava club (you know who you are. Thank you) have helped raise over £1400 so far.
I made a short film of the ride that shows just how beautiful and brutal one day on a bike can be. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g9QXsbLBY8&feature=youtu.be
The smallest amount can make an big difference to dementia sufferers and their carers,:so if you'd like to donate you can do it here:
