THE TEAM

THE RIDERS

185 mile London Revolution Ride 19-20 May 2012
Jeff Davis - Joy's brother and Vince's brother-in-law, Jeff has been riding recreationally (2 or 3 sportives per year) and at regular spinning classes for 4 years.

Ian McKay - Ian and Jeff have been friends for 20 years having originally met while coaching their sons' rugby teams (a 10 year project!).  Apart from the occasional spinning class Ian's road cycling experience is very short having only started in January this year.





THE ALL IMPORTANT BACKUP TEAM

The 2004 team - Vince is on the far left
Joy Weller - Vince's wife and Jeff's sister, Joy along with Julie and Vince were the support team for Ian and Jeff's last fundraising mission in 2004, successfully completing the 24 hour Three Peaks Challenge in memory of Joy and Jeff's mum and in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.  Between them they raised £10,000. 





Julie Davis - Jeff's wife and fellow member of the 2004 Three Peaks Challenge, Julie is currently traing for her own challenge in July 2012, the Trailwalker 2012, where along with their daughter and two friends she will be walking 100 km in under 30 hours along the South Downs from Petersfield to Brighton. 

Vince and Robin 2003 Rugby World Cup
It has to be said that Joy and Julie's navigational skills are not the best and Jeff and Ian are desperately hoping that their ride at the end of each day does not finish by having to cycle off and find out where they have got to (the local shopping centre might be a good starting point!). 

Robin Hanley - As mentioned on the Home Page, Robin is very much part of the inspiration for this challenge and would, but for his NF2, dearly have loved to be taking part in it. Nevertheless he will be making his own vital contribution from "base camp" by monitoring progress and providing motivation and encouragement the whole way through.

Jill McKay - Ian's wife Jill will be providing a much needed lift when she joins the support team for the journey through Scotland (this does not mean taking Joy and Julie shopping though!).
