Rob Jones & Dave James from Watsonian Sidecars completed a 150-mile cycle ride in under 24-hours, raising hundreds of pounds for the Midlands Air Ambulance. The ride was in memory of their colleague, Mike Ellis, who died in an accident last April. “The ethos of the ride was to do something very difficult that encompassed all the places that Mike and I rode, both on and off road” explains Rob, a former superbike racer. They rode as far as north Bristol and over the old Severn bridge, following the river Wye to Tintern, before climbing into the Forest of Dean and on to the Malverns. Rob and Dave’s Just Giving page is still open for donations at www.justgiving.com/Robert-Jones19.
