Research.<\/p>\n<p>Jolyon Canlin took on the Lon Las route in five days, which saw him face some of the trickiest terrain in Wales, Halesowen News reports.<\/p>\n<p>He came off his bicycle at one point and his friend also had a fall that resulted in quite a bad cut to his knee.<\/p>\n<p>But the group kept going and even decided to extend their route by six miles in order to end the event at South Stack lighthouse near Holyhead.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It was all worth it though and we are all thrilled to have already passed the &pound;3,000 mark on our fundraising for the two charities, and donations are still coming in,&quot; Mr Canlin said.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend (June 5th), some 300 cyclists began the 350-mile Battlefield Bike Ride, which will see them head from Portsmouth to Paris in aid of Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800574745-ADNFCR\"
