David Cope and Joel Morter



These Gentlemen embarked on a 340 mile cycle ride following the Devon border as closely as possible in 6 days, they endured a heavy fall and injured knee as well as multiple punctures in one mile following a kick sustained to Joel's bike suffered on the Lynton railway.
The first night they reached Dulverton 97miles from their start after 10hrs19mins arriving at 2am, they stayed here until the morning when they departed for Combe Martin 39 miles away.
Their next stay was at Stratton 53miles away taking in the sights of the north coast, before heading down through some of Dartmoor national park towards the next resting area at Yelverton 43 miles later, where David unfortunately fell and injured his knee worthy of a hospital visit he left bandaged on the advice not to cycle more then 2 miles, however bravely they plodded on until Plymouth where repairs from that earlier kick were finally required following a double puncture within a mile. It was then on to Dartmouth 50 miles away before returning to Exmouth and finishing at our Beach Hut.

The figures have yet to be finalised but it is looking likely that the sum of around £500 will be entering the charities account.

Gentlemen we cant thank you enough, I'm sure after those hills your legs are happy to be resting.
