Pedal-power takes Stuart Down Under

Stuart Bayne rode over 1,300 miles through New Zealand to raise funds for the Down’s Syndrome Association (DSA).

The 53-year-old, who is a sales manager for Hemel-based firm NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd, completed the trip in just 18 days.

Stuart said: “My bike and legs are still in surprisingly good shape, but I have had an A&E drama, when swept off my cycle last week by a passing truck on the detour road due to the recent earthquake. Bit of drama and a sore knee otherwise all tickety-boo!” To sponsor Stuart visit http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/StuartBayne
