“The
lads really enjoyed it. It was a good day out and a good atmosphere. We’ve
had a resurgance in our membership. I’d say just try it. You
need a bit of training to do the 100 miles or you will suffer, but not
shedloads”.
Norman Harlow, Chairman, Great Yarmouth Cycling Club Team
Manchester to Blackpool
“The
bike ride is the pinnacle of our cycling calendar. Heinz operates the “Cycle to
Work” and the NHS “Well at Work“ schemes so more of us are riding day to day. Our
team of 67 raised over £5,200. This year we wanted to get more of our family
and friends cycling and our new riders were “made up with what they’d done”. Once
again Wincanton supported us by providing the van and driver to transport our
bikes."
Justin Godfrey, Team Heinz
London to Cambridge
"This was our team’s eleventh year of supporting Breakthrough
for Breast Cancer on the Cambridge ride. Quite a few families cycled, 43
of us had a really good day and are keen to cycle in 2011. We raised
£3,000. One chap hadn’t cycled for twenty years, He joined the Cycle to
Work scheme and decided to go for it. Once again Marshalls generously
supported us by sponsoring t-shirts and transporting the bikes."
Martin Shipley, Marshall Aerospace, Cambridge
Tour de Tendring
"There
were 50 of us - 26 children aged 7-15 and 24 adults cycling. The children were
very enthusiastic and determined to cycle the 20 miles. The ride has spawned a
lot of them to ride their bikes again. We raised £5,000 for Great Ormond
Street. They are all very keen to cycle
the ride again in 2011."

“We
loved it, absolutely loved it. We have
two offices one in London and one
in Oxford. We did it as a team
building/fun thing to get the two offices together and it really worked! Some
had never cycled before. We did lots of training before the ride. One
guy had done ‘Iron Man’ - he got a puncture 2 miles outside Oxford and he ran
with his bike into the Finish. We raised
£1,300”.

“Brilliant. Really well organised. Route fab. Good length, excellent to be able to choose between the distances. Twenty of us cycled, mix of experienced and new to cycling. Loved the four piece band in the big top at the finish in Alexandra Gardens.
