Dragon Ride 2025

Having missed the 2024 event due to illness on Sunday 22nd June i took part in the 2025 Dragon ride event - This is a 215km ride with 3,350m of climbing equating to 2 and a half times Ben Nevis ! . Along with 4,700 riders we started the day with overcast weather and ended with torrential rain and very high winds making riding conditions difficult. For me after 11 and a half hours of riding I eventually crossed the finish line totally drained. 

I did not fund raise before the event as I really was not confident of completing the course , but having managed to get up every hill without stopping and make the finish line i would like to support my chosen charity 

I am raising funds to support the William Wates Memorial Trust whose mission is to help the most disadvantaged young people keep away from a life of crime and violence and fulfil their potential. This is achieved by giving grants to charities that engage young people through the medium of sports, arts and education.

This is my chance to give something back and help support young people who aren't lucky enough to enjoy the advantages in life that most of us take for granted.

Thank you for supporting me!
