Well what can I say !! I’m proud of our club and want to thank each and every one of you for your help and support at yesterday’s Parkinson Memorial Road Race. Our amazing refreshment and cake stall made £56 for East Cheshire Hospice

& there’ll be more funds going to the hospice when final accounts are in as £1 from every rider’s entry fee will be donated to ECH. Karen Bale won best cake in the MW Bake Off, with her Sticky Toffee Cake selling out in seconds. She’ll be celebrating with her prize, a bottle of Prosecco

I’m sorry I didn’t get round to speaking to you all on the day, it was a tad stressful.! Well done to Mike Stretch

and Chris Quin for making the break and getting 1st and 2nd in an exciting sprint for the line.
