Amazing 👏

A GROUP of cyclists have completed a challenge, raising almost £100,000, surviving a vomiting bug and getting to pet a baby rescue piglet along the way.

“Somehow we managed to get back on the bikes the day after and climbed Mount Dajti, the mountain peak that overlooks Tirana, Albania. Fellow cyclist Tammy Friend, 38, a speech and language therapy student, said that “one person’s puncture is everyone’s puncture”, adding: “The ‘all in it together’ vibe of Thighs of Steel is a unique and special thing.”

“We all help one another out in so many ways that I really don’t think I can look after myself alone anymore.” She added: “People who filled our water bottles, translated Albanian road signs for us, pointed us the right way to the best snacks, let us pet their baby rescue piglet, or invited us into their gardens for the night.”
