Recently I was persuaded to undertake “the Fred” – a massive hilly bike ride round the lake district; The Saddleback Fred Whitton Challenge – a gruelling 112 mile ride around and over 15,000ft of hills in the Lake District – that’s like riding up The Shard over 15 times in height alone. All done in one day. It’s widely known as the hardest event of its type in the UK and includes a number of the steepest road climbs.

Firstly my thoughts and prayers (and I’m sure many others) are with the two individuals who crashed on the decent from Honister pass. We were held at the top to allow ambulances and the subsequent transfer to air ambulance and later passing the significant amounts of blood and debris left on the tarmac sobers the mind – hope you are ok and on the mend – my understanding is you are stable and will make a full recovery.
