27th June 2010 -

Following our news story about Karen limbering up for the London to Brighton bike ride a few weeks back, we're delighted to report that she successfully completed the ride in a mere 3¾ hours last Sunday and had even recovered sufficiently to make it along to WCB's rehearsal on Wednesday!

Karen said, "The ride was cold, and I'm sure the  Ditchling mountain gets steeper and longer each year but it's worth it to see the poppies as you freewheel down into Brighton."

Our picture shows Karen and her daughter relieved to have reached the end of the challenge, on Brighton seafront. Karen's still busy gathering her sponsorship money (in aid of the British Heart Foundation) but is confident that the grand total will be over £300 which is highly impressive - well done Karen!

We're only slightly concerned by her parting comment..."Bring on next year - maybe with some band members to join me...?"!
