mencapOn Saturday 20th April 2013 Kyle Adams a pupil at Pontypridd High School joined some famous names like Gold medal winner Paralympic cyclist Mark Colbourne and ex Wales rugby international Alix Popham on the Battle 2 Brive. 
 
Kyle would like to thank staff and pupils who sponsored his 590 mile cycle ride. He has raised a staggering £3250 for Mencap Cymru with monies still coming in.
 
In 1997 rugby teams Brive and Pontypridd were involved in a heated encounter during a Heineken Cup match, which become known as the infamous Battle of Brive. At the end of the gruelling charity cycle ride Kyle and the other cyclists watched the end of season match in Brive and were presented with cheques from the club and 97 club which are a group of past players.
 
Well done Kyle this is an outstanding achievement!
