Wetherby Cycle Ride 2011
The fourteenth annual Wetherby Cycle Ride was held on Sunday 5th of June.
Despite it being a cool and overcast day 235 people took part. The bikes and entrants came from across the ages, there were little ones, older ones, faster ones and tandems. Everyone who took part enjoyed it, there were a couple of repairs needed to bikes but otherwise there were no incidents.
The organisers, Ann and Jeff Newton, are expecting to raise GBP3,500 for Cancer Research UK, they wish to thank to everyone who took part for raising so much to support the cause. Thanks to Cyclesense of Tadcaster, who pay all the costs, all the money raised by participants goes directly to the charity.
Ann and Jeff would like to thank their family, neighbours, friends and supporters who marshalled the event, Askham Richard village hall, Central Garage in Boston Spa, Lower Wharfedale Rotary Club, St John's Ambulance, Thorp Arch Trading Estate and Wetherby High School.
The web site will be update with details of next year's event early in 2012.
