The hot cross bun challenge

Mr F, his bad knee, and three friends had set themselves a challenge to cycle 50km from one end of the Ile d'Oleron to the other, to celebrate our friend Tony (who didn't cycle) recovering from a triple bypass. Money was raised for two charities, and the route was completed after almost four hours early this afternoon! I was part of the support team, and met the riders along the way.
We all had a hot cross bun tee shirt to wear, and waved Stade Rochelaise flags on the finish line, which was conveniently close to a bar where we all ate chips and drank coffee, tea, beer and g&t!
