Allez Team Anniemay

Well it's a lovely sunny morning here at the Selby Leisure Centre.  

Team Anniemay (herself, bike/gym buddy Anthea and Anthea's husband Richard) are champing at the bit, waiting for the flag to signal the start of the annual Yorkshire Cancer charity bike ride.

Having taken the obligatory team photo, I wave them off and head back to bed in the B&B.

update
I get a call around midday "we're back."

I make my way to the finish in front of the Abbey.  (Selby has an Abbey because Henry 1st was born here.  Just in case you're in a pub quiz and it comes up.)

As they queue up for their times ( a very good 2hrs 34 minutes including stops), a young boy (about 11 or 12) is just in front of them.  He's done the ride with his mum.  She passes her phone to him;  "Dad, dad, - mum says I can have a road bike now."  And why not?

Extras show Team Anniemay with their well-earned medals.  They look a bit more sweaty than they did a few hours ago.  Another team have their photo taken by the press.
