Over 50 cyclists, from tiny tots to the more mature, joined the NSPCC Bike Ride on Sunday Sept 16th. Alton Water played host to the event, organised in support of the Suffolk Project and NSPCC in general. Many participants hired cycles from the Alton Water Hire Shop, though most arrived with everything, including the ‘will’ to cycle more than one lap, therefore, we must congratulate the ‘first’ team to leave (pictured top left), plus Harry Kemp, Michael Kennedy, Elayne Grover, Declan and Northgate pupils Michael and Harry… all, of whom, managed at least two laps, on what proved to be a beautiful day.
Supported by Riverside Press of Ipswich, Benevolus.com (charity Ecards) and Anglia Water, this fundraising ‘FIRST’ for East Suffolk proved to be an excellent day out for participants and onlookers. The 2008 event is scheduled for late September/early October – the organisers plan even more challenges, so keep an eye on progress….. for information please visit www.benevolus.com and www.ipswich24.co.uk…..
