Wetherby Cycle Ride 2010
Ann and Jeff Newton would like to thank all those who took part in the 2010 Wetherby Cycle Ride.
The year's ride was the thirteenth event we have organised, we are pleased to say we had a great day with only two punctures, a broken chain and one little boy who was temporarily missing. We had 270 participants and have banked to-date over £4,000. We expect the event to eventually make over £6,000. Thanks to the sponsorship of Cyclesense all the money raised goes to cancer research. We firmly believe that the cure rate is getting better with new research into cancer, but as all cancers are different we know progress is slow. We still have regulars coming back having survived cancer and that is very rewarding.
We would like to thank: Cyclesense in Tadcaster for their sponsorship so all the money raised goes to Cancer Research; Central Garage in Boston Spa for providing the backup vehicle; St John's Ambulance for first aid support, the Wetherby High School for the use of their car park for the start and finish; Askham Richard Village Hall for the use of the toilets and providing a drinks stop and last but by no means least the riders, friends, family and Cancer Research UK volunteers who supported us.
Please return to this web site at the beginning of 2011 when we will launch next year's event, which we anticipate will again be on a Sunday early in June.
