3 of GGCC's members took on a daunting challenge at the weekend for a great cause and to raise money for a couple of charities!
Andy Dobinson, Jim Murray and Rob Young took on the 'DOUBLE DOUBLE'
This was a personal challenge of 2 back to back 200 mile rides and THEY DID IT!!
On the Saturday they rode as far south as Newton Stewart and covered 206 miles and on the Sunday they wound their way west then north towards Aberfeldy and covered 201 miles.
It was a daunting challenge that took then around 12 hours of riding each day to complete.
They climbed around 10000 feet each day and burned off 8000 calories so they climbed 2/3 of Everest in a weekend!!!
They worked well together and rode well with an average mph of around 18 for the 2 days to all in all it was an impressive ride!
Please take a look at the links below and find out more about the challenges and charities that have been chosen and give what you can as each and every donation is greatly appreciated!
