Rocket Ride 2011
Steve "Rocket" Holmes made friends very easily, and almost without exception retained those friendships throughout his life. In 1984 Steve and his new bride Lesley moved from Durham to start a new life in Sandbach, Cheshire. The Rocket Ride will repeat Lesley and Steve's journey from Durham to Sandbach - but this time by bicycle. A team of 8 riders from Sandbach will attempt to ride over 180 miles over the weekend of 18th-19th June.

Well done everyone have a safe journey for the rest of today
The Sunday Cyclers have reached Hawes in Yorkshire. 60 miles in and everybody is still going strong. ETA for end of todays riding is 7.30pm.
After a wet start the team headed of to Richmond. After climb after climb the support crew and vans were doing well with the help of the ten cyclists. Whose vast appetite help lessen the payload and increase both speed and fuel economy. Much deserved drink and cake was waiting at the station. Again out of Richmwond the team climbed up to Hawes for much deserved lunch having completed nearly 60 miles.
