Manchester to Blackpool Bike ride
Get your wheels in motion for the Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride
The Go Grannies at the startA big THANK YOU to everyone who pedalled for Christie's in the annual Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride.
The Christie team welcomed over 6,000 riders over the new finish line on the sea front in Blackpool. Riders soaked up the atmosphere in the sun after their sixty mile bike ride having been congratulated by the many supporters, family and friends at the Solaris Centre.
The cyclists were grateful for their recovery packs at the end and Christie’s would like to extend huge thanks to Eat Natural and McVitie’s for their kind donations of snack bars. Thanks also to Kellogg’s for the bike computers and County Car & Van Hire for their continued support of the event.
This year cyclists were joined by a few famous faces with Sale Sharks entering a team of all their available players. UK Fast sponsored the team’s entry into the bike ride to support Christie’s and we were most grateful of their support.
Last year the ride raised over £200,000 and so far this year we have smashed that total by already raising nearly £220,000, so once again thank you all for your hard work and for those of you still collecting the remainder of your sponsorship we wish you the best of luck.
Please make all cheques payable to the ‘The Christie’ and send to the Appeals Office, Christie’s, Wilmslow Road, Manchester, M20 4BX
