Think you could ride 450km over six days? How about in the energy-zapping heat and with a lot of hills thrown in?
Brian Downton, the owner and founder of Downton & Ali Associates, a much-valued sponsor of the club over the past seven seasons, has set off on his annual charity ride, that promises to be a mountainous task this time round.
He will cycle with 26 others across Sri Lanka for six days, taking in 450km in 30-degree heat and 90 percent humidity.
Brian is raising funds for The Openwork Partnership foundation and Holding On Letting Go, a charity which gives bereavement advice to children, but receives no statutory funding.

Good luck Brian!
