Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
Matthew Twigger, Steve Shaw, Richard Walton and Anthony Elston are cycling 100 miles on the canal towpath from Liverpool to Skipton on 25 July, with support from Mark Gurney
Please support us to raise funds for the Ben Rhydding Primary School Parent Teacher Association, to provide additional equipment for the School in its Centenary year.
Every little helps! Please sponsor us.
Thanks
STOP PRESS..........WE DID IT! Leaving Liverpool about 6.10am, we were greeted by the welcoming committee (much appreciated) in Skipton about 7.30pm.
A few awards from the day....
Hero award - Steve, for getting knee problems after 30 miles but persevering, with the help of painkillers
Nearly went in award - Steve again - fell off the bike and ended up on his back about a foot from the canal
Regular pee break award - Anthony (although the whole team seemed to need to do the same)
Speed award - Matthew, after supping his concoction of energy drinks, setting off into the distance at 17mph
Spoilsport award - Richard, for being the only one not to fall off
Community Service award - Matthew, for riding back a couple of miles to look after a couple of lads with punctures
Smug grin award - Michael, with a very nice pint in his hand, complaining about how hard the support job was
Parking space award - Mark, for always managing to park close to the towpath at the meeting points, and saving unnecessary walking for the riders.
All in all a great day - not necessarily one that we would repeat in the near future. Sponsorship much appreciated - hopefully over £2,000 when all potential donors have been frisked.
A few photos will hopefully be added to the site.
