The Dougie Mac 108 & 49 mile cycle rides to Llangollen and Nantwich
Once again this year North Staffordshire RAYNET supported Dougie Mac with their 108 and 49 mile cycle rides to Llangollen and Nantwich. A very wet day, but that didn't dampen the spirits of the participants, especially Mitchell the last cyclist to to return the the Michelin Sport Centre following his growling 108 mile ride to Llangollen and back again.
This is Mitchell rider No 145. It was the ambition of Mitchell and his friend, "Will" to “Do The Dougie Mac Challenge Ride”. But his friend passed away very young. Mitchell decided to do the ride in honour of his friend, hence he didn’t want to give up, but had to finish under his own steam.

Please support him and Dougie Mac.
