Marie Curie Coast to Coast Mountain Bike Challenge

 * Day 1 : Grange-over-Sands to Hawes
 * Day 2 : Hawes to Osmotherley
 * Day 3 : Osmotherley to Scarborough

At the finish we received a wonderful reception as we cycled along the sea front and around the final roundabout which became a blur of Marie Curie colours of gold, yellow and blue.
