Mountain Bike Challenge feedback and results
Some very positive feedback in the days following the event, and several requests to publish the timings here – so here they are! Thank you to all who took part and helped the team raise much needed funds, and an even bigger thank you to those who sent us such positive comment. Hope to see you all again next year!
'We took part in the ride on Sunday and would just like to say a big thank you to all who helped organise it. I was brilliant to be involved in such a day. The support received from your members was fantastic! At each checkpoint they were so positive and encouraging. We were in the last three to finish and were in fact marshalled home by the team. At no point did they suggest we put our bikes in the recovery vehicle, but instead gave the support we required to carry on going – even though it meant many of you had to stay on to record our time and provide us with a very welcome hot drink and food. You were all fantastic. Thank you so much for helping us achieve our goal. We will be back next year having trained more!' Kathy and Grant Skelton, Claire Smith
'May I extend my thanks to all the support given to riders during the MTL last week, they did a great job supplying food and drink to those of us doing the event. Great job!' Richard Pollard
'We just wanted to say big thanks to the Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team for helping us to complete the Mary Townley Loop yesterday, and what a well organised event it was.' Estelle & Simon Hollows
'Cheers for running the event I had a brilliant time (although I wouldn't have said that half way round). A huge sense of achievement at the end. I think I only managed it thanks to the help of a group of other riders who were at my pace and knew the directions. Great to see the results, I can't believe how fast some people completed it.' via email
