Fred Whitton Challenge - 10 times in 10 days ( 13th - 22nd May 2011 )
Just to bring to your attention a bonkers charity epic.
A chap called Leon Bond has recently completed 10 'Freds' in 10 days.
Now those of us who've ridden the Fred Whitton will appreciate what an incredible effort that is. For most, one's enough, usually followed by the words 'never again!', so what it's like to get up for 10 consecutive days knowing you've got to do it all again is unthinkable. To make it even worse he had some atrocious weather to contend with.
As if riding it 10 times wasn't bad enough, club member Glenn Rhodes rode round with him on day 7. Poor chap's probably deaf now ;-)
The ride is in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support and you can read his daily ride reports here...
