The charity event "Spice Roads Royal British Legion", held by the Royal British Legion (RBL) & Spice Roads Bike Club, embarked on an ambitious bicycle race of 855 KM from Bangkok to Phuket. The race began October the 21th and finished 28th October. It was to raise 500,000 bhat for both RBL and the Thai War Veterans Organisation. The team of 10 ranges in age from 64 year-old British ex-serviceman Tony Margetts to 17 year-old Thai Nattapongpan. The team have been in training for 9 months and are required to ride over 100km (62 miles) every day. John Cormac Murphy(Bob) who is a resident of Bangkok, is son of Cormac Murphy (well known curry & beer-taster), after completing the race, was heard to say, "Where's the bar?" He is seen 2nd from left on first picture, pink ribbons and having a drink in Phuket.
