790 riders took part in Gravesend Rotary Club’s 28th annual sponsored bike ride on Sunday (27 April) and were greeted by a cool but unexpectedly dry day. Almost half took the 45 mile route which went first round the Hoo Penninsula and then joined the others who rode either the 30 or 15 mile routes in the countryside south of Gravesend.

As usual, thankfully, the day went smoothly and we received many compliments for the organisation and signposting. That could not have been achieved without the help of other organisations including Gravesend Cyclists Touring Club, Raynet, St John Ambulance, Gravesham Council, local Rotary and Lions Clubs and many others. Above all our thanks to the riders many of whom came a long way for the ride; some came form Norfolk. We hope to have raised around £12,000 for the EllenorLions Hospices and other, mostly local, charities. We will not know how much till all the sponsorship money is in so if you are a sponsored rider please collect you sponsorship money and send io to us!
