Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign Big Bike Ride hits town

Here at last after several months of planning we have 40 intrepid bikers on their epic round Britain motorbike ride for Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign. We have been involved with Lynn and her campaign for 11 years since I (Stephen) had advanced bowel cancer. Lynn was a great support throughout the whole ordeal.

Many thanks to Ian, from the famous Magpie Café who fed everyone down by the bandstand

The main aim is to raise awareness about bowel cancer on a route that takes in Birmingham, Leeds, Whitby, Gateshead, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Conway, Cardiff, Brighton and London over a 4 day period. The ride, is about 1400 miles with a very eclectic mix of bikes.
