An 80 mile/120km sportive ride around the boundary of Barnsley in support for Help for Heroes

We are inspired to ride for Help For Heroes in the memory of pte Matthew Adam Thornton of the 4th battalion of the Yorkshire regiment who was killed during active service in Afghanistan on the 9th November 2011.
