A team from our Porthleven branch has recently completed an impressive 50k cycle ride in aid of the RNLI.
The team, made up of RGB colleagues Karen Richards, Clive Jeffery, Geoff Harry, Chris Instance and Ross Atkinson, and friends Nigel Groom and Bryher Blackmore, utilised the Camel Trail to complete the cycle ride. They followed the Camel Estuary from Padstow to Wadebridge, then carried on through the Camel Valley to Bodmin Jail, before double looping back to complete 50k.
The RNLI, which dealt with 7,242 incidents across Cornwall last year, is our chosen charity and, so far, the Porthleven team’s cycle ride has raised £465.
Karen Richards, a Branch Support Assistant at our Porthleven branch, commented:
“Throughout the year, the whole company is fundraising for the RNLI to help it continue its 24-hour search and rescue, and education services. The charity does fantastic work across our area, so we wanted to challenge ourselves while supporting it. It was great working as a team as we were able to help each other.
“Thank you to Lakeside Cycles who provided two of our team with bikes, and thank you to everyone who has donated – it’s very much appreciated.”
