Dyke on a bike

If you're on the streets of Bovisand, Lostwithiel, Boscastle, Elmscott, Okehampton, Exeter and Dartmouth over the next few days, be watchful for of a party of eight 65-year-olds on bikes.  Greg Dyke and schoolfriends from his days as a 15-year-old at Hayes Grammar School are recreating a 300-mile ride round Devon and Cornwall, this time for charity.  When they first did the trip, it was longer - starting and finishing in London. This time they'll have a support vehicle, in Greg's words, carrying "oxygen and alcohol". But he promises they'll be attempting the same hills and staying in the same hostels.
