The C2C challenge (29 June - 02 July) is now complete. We are delighted to announce that the team of 15 riders who set out to ride 170 miles (mainly off road just to add to the pain!) starting from Robin Hood Bay on the East Coast and finishing at St Mary’s successfully completed their challenge at Ulverston Carnival.
The team actually covered 188 miles in total due to a miss calculation, but on the 2nd July had raised an amazing £27,629.06 for St Marys, which smashed their £20,000 target.
There is a blog detailing all the rider’s pain levels each day and details of their trip on the website www.stmarysc2cchallenge.co.uk
Jeff Walsh the main organiser of the Challenge said “Day 2 was really hard - 10.5'hours on a bike isn't great for anyone. What should have been an easy of road start turned out to be a nightmare! Loads of breakdowns, punctures and gears, which didn't make the day easy.”
“However, day 3 & 4 turned out to be better and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support up to and over the ride. The finish was overwhelming at the Ulverston Carnival and a special thanks to the Hospice and their team along with The Bay Radio for being so gentle with someone so microphone shy!”
St Mary’s would like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved especially the 15 riders and support team who completed such an amazing challenge. The response to the ride and sponsorship has been amazing.
