72-Year-Old Completes 172 Mile Cycle

Gordon Drinkwater has completed his epic 172-mile charity cycle all in aid of Breast Cancer Now.

Gordon, who is 72-years-old and lives in Port Erin, cycled from Whitehaven to South Shields over three days, finishing his journey on Sunday (July 21).

He won’t be stopping after this challenge as he also has another 100 mile ride planned for August which will be from Chester to Hereford between two RAF bases where he was once stationed.

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company helped support Gordon through its Manx Community Assistance scheme.
