1 bus driver disliked this. :D

[MrGrumpycyclist]

@CyclingMikey Ha, ha. Or it could be one of the drivers that got caught up in it.

What a great day! I loved it. What time did you complete it in? I managed to do a steady 3hr 35min! I looked out for head cam guys, but couldn't see any. What time did you start?

Do you think that one person accidentally pressed the dislike button?

Brill! Sounds like a top ride!

[yangtse55]

That's the sort of ratio of bikes to cars I like. :-)

[MrGrumpycyclist]

@yangtse55 Indeed. It's great to be able to ride two abreast with no stress at all!

[monkeysnutscom]

Who did you do it with because SkyRide normally have rides like that at this time of year?

[MrGrumpycyclist]

@monkeysnutscom It's the annual Manchester-to-Blackpool ride (62 miles) in aid of the Christie Cancer Hospital and various other charities. It's a Christie event organized by Bike-Events, and a jolly good time was had by all.

[monkeysnutscom]

@MrGrumpycyclist Ah right. There are multiple charity rides near me as well throughout the year. I am actually trying to organise one for Action For Children.

Bike rides are probably the most popular ways of fundraising with most charities as they are easy to organise.
