First day!

And we're off!

Ten brave cyclists set off this morning from Leonard Cheshire Disability's Gwel Y Mor supported living service usefully aided by Deputy Mayor Keith Thomas. Our aim: to travel 350 miles across Wales, raising money to assist disabled people get involved in sport.

We stopped for a free coffee at Waitrose on the Menai Straights before making good progress to Penryhn Castle and onto Eithinog care home in Colwyn Bay for a warm welcome by residents, volunteers and staff

We had lunch in the sun before medals were given out by Councillor Mary Doyle to a number of disabled residents who have been cycling out 350 mile route on their physio bike at the service.

Then we set off once more, down a steep hill past the sunny seaside town of Rhyl, and up an even steeper hill to Glan yr afon inn. In total the cyclist climbed 1106 metres!

We've turned in now for some welcome food and a bed for the night.

The cyclists did amazing today while cycling a total of 76.3 miles at an average of 12.6 mph!
