Day One
Day One
Pictured are the DAD’s on the start line at Newcastle Falcons Rugby Stadium with Mark and Debs. Big thank you to Newcastle and the foundation there. They welcomed us and opened up so we could get a really great send off. Newcastle Falcons showed what a top Club they are and having that support was just what the team needed at the start of this massive 9 Day challenge.
Pleased to report that the DAD’s set off and after a long day in the saddle (of well over 100 miles) they have made it safely to their first overnight in Leeds. Tomorrow they ride around the Pennines to finish at Sale Sharks Rugby at the Community Stadium Salford. Look out for an update on their progress.
