To Kathy King, Glenfield Guest House, Whitehaven for sponsoring the first night of accommodation.
To all the five cyclists, Mick Renney, Michael Renney, Brett Ramshaw, Lee Cope and Kayleigh McKenzie who have trained incredibly hard these last few months preparing for this weekend.
A very fitting memory to Lee Renney.
