Out of the car, off his bike and onto the web

David Higgins has successfully completed a 120 mile cycle for charity.

The TQ driver swapped his TQ RED Toyota S2000R rally car for a bicycle today to compete in the British Cyclosportive, an event which uses the same 120 mile route which will be used as the first leg of the Tour de France next week.

"I did the event to raise money for the Air Ambulance and for our local school Ysgol Dyffryn Trannon Trefeglwys," said David. "I cycle a lot to keep my fitness levels up for rallying so it raised money and kept me fit at the same time.

"We cycled from Greenwich to Canterbury, and there were over 5000 riders taking part. Very different from rallying. Thanks to everyone who has given me a donation so far."

Anyone who has not made a donation still has a week to do so. David will be putting the names of everyone who makes a donation into a prize draw and three winners will be chosen to sit alongside David in the TQ RED S2000R on a shakedown stage later this year.

Cheques should be made payable to 'DH Charity Bike Ride' and sent to David at the Forest Rally Experience, Cambrian House, Carno, Powys, SY17 5LU.

David has also launched a new website this week where people can find out more about David and the team and sign up for news updates. The new site can be found at www.davidhigginsrally.com
