We smashed it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trekkers target of collectively riding 100 miles in an hour was kicked well and truly out of the park. Adding the total laps together, the final tally for the 12 bikes came to a massive 703 laps or 176 miles. That translates to an average speed over the 60 minutes of just shy of 15 mph per tandem. And whilst some bikes would have been at the lower end of the spectrum, others were cruising north of 20mph in order for the cumulative number to have settled where it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the cycling figures don\u2019t stop there. Equally impressive are the much needed funds raised. At the time of writing, our bank account looks set to benefit from almost \u00a31500 in sponsorship money, supplemented by approaching \u00a3100 in cake sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little wonder then that the post ride atmosphere was positively buzzing. How could it be anything else after such an electrifying performance, both physically and financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well done Trekkers. You did us all proud\ud83d\udc4d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
