Howden Rotary Club’s Annual Cycle Ride

The determined cyclists, including many children, completed either a 20, 13, 7 or 5-mile course in order to achieve their goals with eighteen different charities benefiting financially from their endeavours.

“We are delighted to yet again, especially in the current circumstances, to have had such a huge number of cyclists participating and correspondingly the total money raised for good causes is fantastic” said Howden Rotarian President Elizabeth Harland. “Really well done and many thanks to all of you, particularly those younger riders whose achievements  were amazing. This is what makes it all so worthwhile.”

“I would also like to thank the participants for complying with Covid-19 health and safety measures that were in place and my fellow Rotarians for implementing them” added Elizabeth. “Hopefully next year’s cycle ride will be back to normal”

In recognition of their efforts, the Club donated £10 to every rider’s charity thereby donating a further £1,300.

The good causes benefitting from the cyclist’s endeavours include the British Heart Foundation, Bubwith Primary School, Cancer Research, Goole Youth Athletics Club, Headway Hull & East Riding, Howden AFC, Howden Junior School, Howden Minster Piano, Howden Pre-School, Project Loo, Jerry Green Dog Rescue, MS Society, Sacred Heart Church, St Helens’ Welton, St Pauls Boxing Club, United Against Dementia, YAA and Yvie’s Hydropool
