"They have made this journey for 23 years to Skegness raising over £160,000 and would offer and welcome anyone that wishes to join them and raise for a charity close to their heart.
"It’s a well organised event and in the past have had over 110 riders.
“I was even offered to take part next year but 100 miles through whatever weather is thrown at you sounds tough, but these people did it.”
