Jim Rees achieved two incredible cycling feats at the Cycle Show (8-11 October). The Bedfordshire man, who has already ridden 3000 miles across America in aid of the Foundation, set a new 24hour static cycling world record on the Wattbike, and then went on to complete 1000miles of cycling during the four day show at Earls Court.
He accepted the Cycle Show challenge just weeks ago, but amassed a huge total of 448.76miles in 24hours. He raised a fantastic
£235.52 for the Foundation! Many thanks Jim!
