Both have previously completed the closed road sportive around London and Surrey, firstly in 2014 and then again last year, 2015. This year they were joined by fellow accountants Marcus Bullen and Ricky Morgan, Nick’s son. Team Warrener Stewart all finished the course uninterrupted, despite long delays behind them due to serious accidents.
“Whilst the route has remained largely the same, each year we have competed we have had to contend with a number of challenges, including Hurricane Bertha, punctures, injury and, sadly, again this year, avoiding serious incidents and road closures,” noted joint managing director, Nick Morgan.
“However, we are pleased to say our times have got quicker! I was the slowest of Team Warrener Stewart, but managed to chop 45 minutes off last years’ time finishing in 5 hours and 50 mins. Jon also improved by 3 seconds (they all count !) with a faster time of 5 hours 22 mins 45 secs. Marcus was just ahead at 5 hours 18 mins and Ricky was the fastest of us all in just 4 hours and 43 minutes – clearly good genes!”
This year the riders raised money for two charities, Shooting Star Chase, a leading children’s hospice charity, who will receive £1,750 and Cancer Research UK who benefit from £1,350.
