Now that all the sponsor money is in, I would like to thank all those involved in this year’s South Dorset Bikeathon.

The 230 riders were supported by over 30 helpers and raised £6,500 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

The entrants enjoyed a glorious sunny day followed by excellent refreshments at Crossways Village Hall. For details of next year’s Bikeathon on September 13, contact Paul Buckrell on 00789047244 or send an email to spbuckrell@aol.com.
