Prostate Charity Cycle Ride 2025

Sept 14th 2025

It is a sad fact that one in eight men in this country will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Whilst treatable with good survival rates, it is obvious that the more that is known about the disease the better the outcome will be. Members of the Rotary Club of North Fylde, set about raising monies for the ongoing research into this unfortunately quite common cancer.

Accordingly, with this aim in mind, on 14th September a goup of North Fylde Rotary Club member and friends, set off on a Charity Cycle Ride to raise monies for Prostate Cancer Research. The cycling team were supported by Club members and friends and in total 15 riders took part.

The days before the cycle ride were very wet and windy and at on stage we discussed postponing the ride due to the poor forecast for Sunday 14 October. We watched the weather forecast closely and fortunately we were blessed with a good forecast for the Sunday morning and we started the ride on a lovely autumn morning with a little sunshine and a gentle South Westerly breeze. The ride weaved it's way through the lanes to the "Barn" at Scorton, where bacon butties and cups of tea were the order of the day.

Rested and refreshed the team mounted their bikes again and we enjoyed a pleasant ride back to Hambleton and then onto home. As soon as we arrived back home again, the rain started and continued for the rest of the day - how lucky were we !

To date the Charity ride has raised over £1,000 for Prostate Cancer Research (with more donations to come in). Many thanks for all those taking part and for the very generous donations.
