The Cyclists. by happypat

The Cyclists.

I am posting my first collage today featuring sarah19's family.
Sarahs son Jonathan & his friend together with her husband Allan are cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats for the charity Care for the Family. www.justgiving.com/jogle-endtoend2012.

It was raining this morning when they set off but were in good spirits. On their way to Keswick tonight & the half way point.
Their first sleep in a bed since they set off a week ago! The tents dried out in the garage & the bikes stayed in the outbuilding so that made things a little easier.

Of course the camera came out as you would expect & here are the results.

From top right clockwise....Having breakfast, Allan checking emails, about to set off, packing up, on their way & main photo, riding past our front gate.

I think they are doing a wonderful thing & the weather has not been kind to them...... we wish them God speed & a good run all the way to journeys end next Friday !
Oh Pat this is lovely- I have to FAV this!!!
It is so lovely to see them all and your collage is fantastic.
I know they LOVED EVERY MINUTE at your place. A real bed and shower with no grass or gravel underfoot was just perfect!
Will keep you up to date with the rest of the trip!!

An event worthy of a first collage and a great one it is too as it really tells the story of their overnight stay with you. I can imagine how much they appreciated sleeping in a bed and a hearty breakfast!
