Keep the wheels turning

Despite the conditions the 53 cyclists in Team Tangerine did really well and stayed positive. Along the way they raised a brilliant £30,000 towards our ongoing work fighting meningitis, with that figure expected to rise as the final sponsorship monies come in.

Event manager Kirsty Owen-Hayward said, “This year was not an easy one and it really makes us at Head Office realise the lengths people will go to to support our charity."

Humbling experience

“Having the opportunity to meet our supporters and their families on the day is the best part of the job and a truly humbling experience."

“More than ever our cyclists appreciated the opportunity to have a shower and a massage at the end. One rider even commented that it was the best massage he had ever had and if we can promise to do that again next year he would sign up!"

Good news – back next year

“Well, the good news is that we are doing it all over again next year – hopefully minus the rain – with just a £25 sign-up cost and a pledge to raise £500."

“And I can confirm that our popular post-race reception will definitely be back too.”
