RAD Youth Service Manager, Andy Taylor and a team of friends successfully completed the 198 mile London to Brighton bike ride.  

Andy says, "We did it in 18 hours and burned off 4,300 calories! Big thanks to our sponsors DeWalt Powertools, Stanley Hand Tools and Apex Auctions.

Also thanks to Roy Jervis Bike shop in Ripley for their kind donation of tyres, inner tubes, brake cables and spare chains.

We are aiming to raise £1,000 to fund a project benefiting young deaf people. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. There is still time to donate, please visit http://www.justgiving.com/teamlondonparis for more information."

Next year, Andy is considering undertaking the 650 mile Paris to Berlin bike ride.
