7am at Bustamante Hospital and loads of people all ready for the start of the Barking Mad Bike Ride! What a fantastic tournout! The banner was amazing and really gave the start a focus along with all the t-shirts everyone wore. Very inspirational!
The runners arrived before 7am, having run 15 miles to bring the overall distance up to 400 miles - well done guys! The support is amazing and so appreciated by everyone.
After the interviews were done and the photos taken, at around 7.20 the main group set off with lots of additional riders joining them for the first section.
All the Barnes girls followed in the car for the first hour or so to cheer them on which was great. I now see what they mean about the roads being bad and the traffic a bit hairy - thankfully they have a large support team with them!
Home now for breakfast and then we are planning on heading out later to see where we can find them en route. GOOD LUCK BOYS!
