Barlborough to Lincoln Charity Cycle Ride

As part of the Gelder Groups 25th Anniversary and their yearlong charity fundraising campaign, eighteen cyclists undertook a grueling 40 mile bike ride from Barlborough to Sturton By Stow on Sunday 5TH May, the weather was perfect for the event which was completed in 3 hours and 37 minutes. On return to the head office at Sturton by Stow a Barbecue was provided for riders, family and friends. Hannah Laidler who works in the Head Office accounts department and organised the event commented “Everybody involved in the ride really enjoyed it, and were more than happy to help, and so far we have raised £1541.30 for our two chosen charities The Alzheimers Society and St Barnabas Hospice, we would like to thank all our sponsors for their generous donations, and a big thank you to those who helped out on the day also”
