Billy Hughes Cycle Challenge 1-7 June in Support of C4C
On Friday 1st June Billy Hughes, pictured HERE ,will commence his planned 762 mile cycle ride in support of C4C.
His only incentive for doing this will be that The Rifles Care for Casualties charity will benefit from his efforts.
In a recent update on training progress he has indicated that due to work commitments his training schedule has not gone according to plan and although he has been cycling to and from work every day, a round trip of over 65 miles, he has not been able to extend his training beyond that level. Nonetheless he is determined to complete the route that he has set for himself, the details of which are below.
