Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance have announced that their 2nd annual Coast to Coast (C2C) Cycle Challenge will take place on Sunday 20th May 2012.
Last year, hundreds of cyclists took part and rode the equivalent of half way around the world to raise funds for the life-saving Charity.
Not designed as a race, the event involves cycling through some of Dorset and Somerset’s most beautiful countryside. You can expect a mixture of quiet back roads, interspersed with some very demanding climbs and equally hairy descents. It definitely has something to offer for everyone! (more…)

Dear Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance,
Rally de France was an incredible weekend. We drove a safe event on really difficult stages to ensure that we finished. We were really happy with 32nd place overall and we came 6th in our class which was good!
The car ran well all weekend and we only lost one wing mirror which happened when we got too close to some of the steel pins that are used to try and stop corner cutting. (more…)
