Various of our Nightrider particpants have contributed to our blog - here is one from Wayne Meyer (www.justgiving.com/Wayne-Meyer) a participant who lives in Maidenhead - and who decided to cycle to the start in Crystal Palace.....

Saturday
night I started the night ride and finished up early hours of Sunday morning..
Whilst I had initially thought I would ride around 180km, this in fact turned
out to be 227km – this was completed in 8hrs 29min, The ride into London
was a calm 60km with near perfect weather, the 100km starting from Crystal
Palace became a race where 4 us tore through London in around 3.5 hrs (having
to dodge traffic and party go’ers) … the ride home was thinking about the funds
I raised (little over £1,500) and how they would be used to make a change…
Working for Microsoft - any donation Wayne gets on his fundraising page is automatically doubled by his employer. So please reward his efforts. He has shared with us his map of the route he covered - and the amount of hills he tackled ...
