A two-wheeled West Kintyre athlete found just 60 of a 450-mile non-stop charity challenge more than he could handle.
Army reservist and Kintyre Wheelers chairman Colour Sergeant Robbie Semple admitted that part way through his 60 miles he was suffering from what cyclists term ‘the bonk’ as his legs turned to jelly. Semple had joined world endurance mountain biker Richard
Rothwell, who rode from Greenock to Shieldaig in Sutherland as part of Lap of My Mind’s (LOMM) British 10-rider, coastal endurance cycle to raise awareness of mental health.
