Beginning of the 16 Brigade charity bike ride for Combat Stress from Lands End to John O'Groats. Today Flight Lt Rob Croft 'Croftie', Captain James Macca Macrae, Staff Sergeant John Keiller and Capt (US) Luster Hobbs along with a medic and driver from the Brigade set off in the minibus from Colchester to Lands End. We are due to link up with WO2 'Big' Al Moyle tomorrow night. He wont ride the first day as he claims he has an exam for his degree, but we know it pension day
It wasnt long into the journey when Croftie was going through his mental check list. Spare inner tubes....

A flying star from the RAF
We were fortunate to bluff a free lunch worth £25.00 from Burger King at Fleet services, so a big thanks to them.
We arrived at RAF St Mawgan, Newquay at 1900hrs on the Tuesday and set about prepping the bikes for the following morning.
