Records were broken for total numbers of riders attending at the National Trust car park (approx 100) and for money raised by those riders' generous contributions for the Whizz Kidz charity (£550).Many thanks to the leaders of the 5 different rides (another record) and to all who helped out with the other aspects of the day. Even the weather was about as good as could be expected for the time of year! The names logged here are those members who were on the hill, who either made their own way there or were not riding for one reason or another. | ||

It is so nice to see that the mince pie run my parents and I started many moons ago with clubs some of which gone and others like want age still around. Goes on and still attracts good turnout. Alasdair with the trike. |
