Last week a group of 13 riders headed off for the Pyrenees to ride the famous Cols and to raise money for cancer research. One of these riders, Rowan, is a member of Cyc'd Cycling Club. He is also the fund raising manager for Smiling for Smiddy and has ridden countless kms supporting this amazing organisation. Sharky is an honourary Cyc'd member and great friend of the club being a regular rider with us and as the founder of Smiling for Smiddy.
Before Row headed off I was able to get him his new Cyc'd Cycling kit and when I handed it to him I asked if he would wear it on the day that he rode the Col de Tourmalet. Here is a photo of Row (second from right) looking great in his club kit and the other riders having conquered the Tourmalet (18km climb!!). As a warm up they climbed the Col d'Aubisque (16km climb with an average gradient of 8%) earlier in the day now that is one hell of a day climbing almost 4000m!!
