On Monday May 2nd, day two of the challenge, the riders set off from Richmond in North Yorkshire. After lunch in picturesque Ripon they arrived at the Hotel du Vin in Harrogate, where they were joined by Craig Whitehead, who is Head Barman of the Hotel du Vin in York. With Craig holding the baton, the team cycled to Leeds, their final destination for the day, where they visited both of the city's blood donor centres before retiring for a well earned rest.

Distance covered: 63 miles.
