H-Bay 12hr Endurance results

If Bob Dylan sang it once, he sang it a 1000 times and those times are certainly a-changin’. 

It is, officially, time to put the old out and bring the new in and we’ve replaced the annual auction with a series of fundraising events throughout the year and we’ve got off to an amazing start with the 12 hour endurance cycling marathon yesterday and raised a staggering £1454. 

As anyone who has had the privilege of visiting knows, good things always happen in Mumbles gym and we can’t thank everyone enough for turning up, donating, bringing a cake and jumping on a bike. The place was packed all day long and between us all, the Club pedalled an astonishing 2427 km.

The next event is the Endurance Life Classic quarter 44 miles running race on the 20th of May along the coast path starting on the Lizard.

Lest I bore you with an in depth breakdown of each of these elements; but this is the gist— Stephen Lusty and Sophie Longlegs have come up with a series of bonkers ideas, which do not necessarily look too inviting on paper for volunteers, but soon turn into magical days once the community turns up to support. 

The ultimate aim is to replace the roof and to install solar panels, so we’re not so reliant on using the diesel generator. There’s some amazing off grid systems out there but as we all know, nothing comes cheap. 

We owe Mumbles a tremendous debt of gratitude for helping us to get to this point. Always open and generous, he is an absolute specimen. Trains like a Roman gladiator, has arms like Toyota Land Cruisers and a huge heart of gold and we can’t thank him enough for his support. Full credit to Mumbles too, for keeping his sense of humour as sharp and toned as the rest of him. 

Thanks for reading
