road.cc newsNI cancer survivor inspired by Lance Armstrong gets 200 santas on their bikes
A cancer survivor from Northern Ireland who was inspired to battle the disease after a friend suggested she read Lance Armstrong’s book, It’s Not About The Bike, got 200 people to dress up as Santa at the weekend to take part in a charity bike ride.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, Rosi Kirker, from Bangor, was inspired to organise the ride, from East Belfast to Comber, through the motivation she drew from reading the book, in which Armstrong relates how he overcame testicular cancer, which had spread to his abdomen, lungs and brain, to win the first of his seven Tour de France titles in 1999.
The ride, which took place last Sunday, saw 200 grown-ups and children pedal from Belfast’s Titanic Quarter to Andrews Memorial Primary School, and funds raised will be shared between the charity Bowel Cancer UK and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

It's hardly a throw and just a gentle toss but it could have ended up in VDP's wheel so justifiably regretful action to take.
It has to be an organised group. My mate had his Canyon gravel bike with every single upgrade going on it. So many go each year, but the sleepy...
I think I'm just going to go down half a size which should fix it.
No mention of the cost...at $1449 I think I'll stick to the old "I feel a bit thirsty, better have a drink" system.
