The Care Leavers’ Association Bike Ride
11th April – 14th 2010
Day 1
Well, here we are. The day has arrived when all three of us are packed and ready for the challenge ahead. We set off at 11am from Aldwych in London and are hoping that the Sunday traffic is calm enough for us to make it out of London alive. The sun shines down on us as we make our way steadily towards the first stop on our four day journey – Writtle which is just outside of Chelmsford. On the first day we travelled 35 miles and only got lost once!
