IMG_1063Before the GOSH Challenge Ride in May, we are also working with our friends at Walking Ibiza on this years installment of their Ibiza Charity Adventure that happens 22-25 of April 2015.

The adventure is a 250km journey around Ibiza in four days by bike, by kayak and on foot. The participants will raise money for
some wonderful causes on the Island namely:

Lucy (Knutsford Tri Club) and Kayleigh (Spalding Tri Club). After our ride they gave themselves 10 minutes to get changed then be ready to go out for a run after which they would do swim training in the pool…. I on the other hand went home and ate some biscuits.
