Good weather on the day and on Topsham Quay for the party afterwards made it a particularly enjoyable event.

STOP PRESS 2005 ride raises over £20,000 for FORCE. Well done everyone!
Congratulations to everyone who completed the century, half century and family rides. It was an absolutely brilliant day, with near perfect conditions for cycling: sunny but mainly cool, with a light easterly that even helped in some stretches and rarely seemed to hinder. Most everyone, I think, got around, and the scenes at the finish on Topsham Quay were mainly joyous! FORCE once again organised the day brilliantly: the stops were well manned and offered really delicious and sustaining homemade foods to the cyclists, and the welcome back on Topsham Quay, with the jazz band and children's entertainer, really made this into a very special event.
Please make sure you get your sponsorship to FORCE as soon as possible, for the money raised from this important event continues to make a real difference to patients' and their families' lives.
Special thanks to Roger Bishop, Carolyne Randall, Roger Duggan, Mervyn Hughes and Meriel Fishwick for arranging such a great day - and for keeping this important event going in the true spirit of Nello!

The 5th FORCE Century Cycle Challenge
(formerly 'The Nello')Sunday June 27th, 2004
13/10/04 This year's Force Century Cycle Challenge was a huge success and the funds raised for FORCE are still coming in. The fund total this year has now reached £12,000 which is a magnificent achievement. Well done to all who made this such a great event.
May 2004 We are delighted that FORCE have taken over the organisation and running of this great event, begun in honour of Nello Ghezzo and known formerly as 'The Nello'. The century cycle challenge comprises a testing hundred mile cycle from Topsham Quay over the roof of Exmoor and back; a 55-mile route through mid-Devon (sharing two of the support stops with the century cyclists); and a Family Fun Ride.
The rides will take place on Sunday June 27th and immediately afterwards there will be a huge communal party at the finish on Topsham Recreation Ground, with food, music and entertainment.
All proceeds go to the FORCE Cancer Support Centre Appeal.It is hoped that this imaginative and important centre will open in early July. We visited the site recently and were impressed by how quickly the dream is becoming reality!
So now is the time to get training and to build up some miles in your legs in order to complete the challenge. We'll be there of course (on the tandem again) and look forward to seeing you and riding with you once more!
