24hr Cycling event – Josh and Hermione
We received a lovely email from Josh and Hermione’s Mum on Friday 13th September 2024.
Just thought I’d let you know of another cycling achievement my two did in the holidays.
We organised and took part in a 24hr cycling event at the Stourport Cycle Circuit raising money for KEMP hospice. One person from each team could be on the cycling circuit at any one time and in relay style, aim to complete as many laps as possible. You could either do it solo, in a pair or as a team.
Hermione and Josh along with a few more of their cycling friends (no older than 11) made a team and completed 418 laps (approx 365 miles).
The hardest part was certainly Josh’s 3am to 5am shift when it was cold and dark, but spirits lifted when he could see the sky starting to change colour as the sun slowly rose.
The event raised nearly £5k for KEMP Hospice and in total racked up enough miles to go from Stourport to Beijing!
The children’s team actually finished 7th out of 17 entrants and were the only youth riders, simply amazing.
WOW! This is incredible.
Well done Josh and Hermione!
