Litter Boss Saves The Day - 19th June 2007
Litter Boss saved the day on the challenge rides by collecting all of the rubbish and unused water from the 4 feeding stations.
Due to a last minute change in the logistics for the event the organisers were left with the problem as to how all the litter would be collected after riders had gone through the feed stations.
Litter Boss rose to the challenge within an hour of the request being put to them and ensured that all litter was moved. A heartfelt thanks from the organisers goes out to Litter Boss for this help in ensuring that the countryside was left clean and tidy.
