Good Friday Charity Ride

Friday 14th April 2017


Event Details

Chester Tri Club are organising a free Charity Bike Ride on Good Friday (14th April)

  • Rides of 77 miles or 50 miles with Tri Club ride leaders
  • Nutrition for the ride (energy gels and a KitKat)
  • Tea stops part way round on both rides
  • Free tea, coffee, homemade cakes and beans on toast at the finish
  • Open to all cyclists over 16 - it's a free ride but please consider making a donation here: Linda and Mark's fundraising page

We are fundraising for Peter Fabian, who was an active member of Chester Triathlon Club, and also gave back to the club by coaching at swim sessions.  He suffered a catastrophic stroke whilst training over 1 year ago.  During the last 12 months Peter has surpassed expectations in his recovery culminating in walking his daughter down the aisle.  However, there is still a long and difficult road ahead to further improve his mobility and verbal communication.  It's in both of these areas of his rehabilitation that the NHS support has considerably reduced and future support will need funding.  This is where Mark and Linda, and Chester Tri Club, would like to support Peter and Deri (his wife) in raising funds which will allow Peter to continue to improve his communication skills and mobility. 

To support this Chester Tri are organising a charity ride on Good Friday (14th April) finishing with tea/coffee, beans on toast and homemade cake at Hobsons Community Cafe in Hoole. There will be no charge for taking part, but we would appreciate if people could donate to support our fundraising.

There will be two different routes, both starting at 69 Cycles and finishing at  Hobsons Cafe. The route is not signed, you are expected to know the way. Please download the route to your gps device, or cycle with someone who has. Please bring the usual spares, a phone, and cycle with a helmet. Roads are not closed, please abide by the rules of the road and be considerate towards other road users.

  • 50 miles [route]
  • 77 miles [route]
    (you may recognise this as a Rise Ahead route; Rise Ahead isn't happening this year)

All groups aim to get back between 2pm and 4pm, when Hobsons will be open for us, with coffee/tea and food. Peter and Deri will be there to meet the cyclists as they return.
