Many of you will have received an email from us a while ago inviting you to support Peter Nadin who was entering the Sleepless in the saddle 24 hour cycle race in aid of a local children’s hospice. On behalf of Peter, we’d like to thank everyone for your generous support.
Peter completed the race, in 24 hours he completed 17 laps of the course, that’s an impressive 136 miles!
The course was extremely muddy as prior to the race we had rainfall for 14 consecutive days. If this didn’t make it difficult enough, during his race Peter had to stop twice – firstly to help a young lady who was having an asthma attack, and then to help a crashed rider out from under his bike in a big clump of nettles who hadn't got the energy to unclip himself from his peddals.
So after riding continually all through the day & night he finished 23rd overall out of 79 solos, and 7th of 29 veteran solos.
When he crossed the finish line Peter vowed ‘never again’ but rumour has it he’s now considering entering again in 2010 ;)
On behalf of all at CS Fire and those who have supported Peter we’d like to say a huge ‘Well Done’ and good luck for the next time.......
If you have not yet donated to Peters fund raising for the Donna Louise Trust and would like to do so http://www.justgiving.com/Peter-Nadin is the link to his just giving page.
