Bristol Dragon Boat Race 2011

Well, we certainly didn’t have the weather but we did all have a fantastic day!

Our team all donned our Robin outfits and entertained the crowds with our amazing rowing skills, lol!
The first race was fab, we managed to pull away from the other team. In our second race we got absolutely thrashed!! And our third race we finally got it together and really pulled it out of the bag and came second. I think we came about 14th which wasn’t bad for a team that had never met, let alone rowed together!

We all had so much fun, we can’t wait to have another go at it next year. Anyone who wants to join in next time, you’re most welcome!

Bristol Half Marathon 2011

What a fabulous day!

Thousands of runners, thousands of people watching, dry sunny weather, a perfect day for the Bristol Half Marathon.

It was great to see so many illuminous yellow shirts all in one place and between the team they all raised a huge amount of money, £13,000!

I can’t thank all the team enough for the efforts you put into training and raising money for our charity, you are all fabulous!

London Bikeathon

Relations of the Radford family took part in the London Bikeathon and sent us a fab photo!

A big thank you to everyone who sponsored us in our recent bike ride. Money is still coming in but we hope to make between £800-900 which is brilliant.

Attached is an all action photo just to prove that we did really do it! Don’t laugh too much at the white skinny legs.

I have to say it was a pretty tough ride. Trust us to pick the hottest Sunday so far this year. The 52 mile trip took us in a figure of eight from Battersea Power Station out to the Thames Barrier, back to Battersea and then out to Ham House (Richmond) and back. Traffic on the second half of the route was pretty heavy at times and for those of you who have cycled in London will know, cars and cyclists do not have a good relationship in the capital. However, we made it and amazingly enough Mike and I are still talking to each other.

Once again, many thanks for your support for such a good cause.

Bristol Bikeathon growing!

Wow…what a day!

Our Bikeathon this year was fantastic but yet again the weather tried to knock us off our feet, quite literally!

A massive thank you to all the riders that entered and came along on the day.

We really wanted to plough ahead with a family day, lots of stalls, a bouncy castle but unfortunately had to disband the idea as the wind was making things dangerous. We did however manage to get our one and only big gazebo up, so refreshments were available!

It was fantastic to see a sea of green t-shirts at the start and watch everyone go off through the estate. I was crossing fingers that the change of the long route would be more acceptable this year and everyone that came back said both routes were great and the views were amazing, they got to see parts of Bristol that they didn’t know existed!
