David, Di and Toby.
Thank you so much for the bike ride on Sunday. I cannot believe that you organise such a brilliant event.
The whole thing has become a part of our friends and family tradition- back to school do the bike ride! The volunteers were fabulous- the marshals were so positive, helpful and seemed to know exactly how to help us out. The whole feel of the event is great- we loved the new numbers and the plastic ties. And we love that we don’t have to be serious riders to join in with serious riders. And we get to see a part of our area in a relaxed open air kind of way.
It was just brilliant.
Thank you.
Jenny Pugh Well done Kevin, and also to everyone who took part. My daughters love for cycling came from this event, she did it 3 weeks after learning to ride her bike which was 6 years ago now.
Towns and communities need more people like you to do more wonderful things like this
Simon James Beswick Great morning, myself, my wife and two kids (5 + 8)did it. Thanks to all the marshals and support staff..
Anne Cockburn I was one of the Marshall and I was so impressed to see so many little ones taking part. Well done to you all.

Christine Curtis It was a really great event, every Marshall we met along the way was lovely and really encouraging the kids.
Nick Williams Great job Kevin Whibley I rode the route out to my marshalling point and thoroughly enjoyed the banter with the adult riders suggesting they should be heading straight on the 30miler rather than turning left and encouraging the youngsters who were a joy to see. Well done everyone who rode today.

Shaun Horan Amazing work and huge thanks to Kevin Whibley and everyone who makes this happen for so many people. Thank you for giving up your Sunday (and many days and hours before that) so that 500 of us can have a fantastic day out with our familes.
IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO
CANCEL THE FLEET 20 Family Cycle Ride for 2022,
and at this stage all future events.
We have tried to find other groups to take this on but to no avail. The challenges over the years have become greater and greater, with increased risk assessment and insurance requirements. The threat of having to cancel last minute due to another outbreak would cost us personally around £3,000 and this has brought home the risk we are running.
In addition, the quality of the roads along the route has deteriorated to a level that running a group event of this size offers increased risk. Plus with works in the area we do not know if the route will be open.
It has been an absolute privilege to be involved in this event for so many years, culminating in a ride of over 600 people taking part. With a whole range of ages from tiny children to the more mature taking part. It has been quite unique. The event over the years has raised £10's of thousands for local charities under myself and many custodians before me.
This is a heart-breaking decision, and I would like to thank everyone who has taken part over the years. A massive thank you to everyone who has marshalled and worked the events for us over the years. And also to our supported charity who always helped us to run the event.
please keep cycling and if anyone wishes to take on the challenge of running it in the future please let me know.

They spend the money locally doing lovely things for people who have suffered from Strokes.
My favourite is they will take them to Blackbush Airport and give them a chance to fly a plane with aerobility. Giving people the chance to do what they never thought they could can be life changing and it is not only the ethos of The Stroke / Asphasia Group but also of Fleet 20.
