North Wolds Lions Club sponsored cycle ride raises £300 despite torrential rain during the event
The North Wolds Lions Club held a sponsored cycle ride on Sunday, July 31 – a 10-mile route over the Wolds from Thwing to Burton Fleming to Fordon to Wold Newton and back to Thwing.
The torrential rain curtailed the number of people participating but the club still accrued £300 following the event.
A North Wolds Lions Club spokesperson said: “It was hoped to have 50 cyclists, but the morning was one of the wettest this year and only 15 determined people turned up at the start, cycling in torrential rain and through floods en-route which covered their pedals.
“Even so, the club raised £300 through sponsorship.”
