SWIM SERPENTINE
The sun was shining on Saturday for Jo Roulson and Alan Fancy when they took on the Swim Serpentine 2 mile challenge. Both Jo and Alan had already run London Marathon and taken part in Ride London so this was the final challenge to complete for their London Classics medal. Loving the experience they both had a brilliant swim and bought home their shiny new medal. Well done both!
