We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Tower to Tower Charity Bike Ride! This monumental journey, which began at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, took our determined riders on a challenging route to Blackpool Tower, through Nuneaton, and finally to the iconic Tower of London. Covering over 300 miles across several days, our riders showed incredible grit and determination to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts.

A Team Effort

This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our riders, volunteers, and the amazing businesses that partnered with us. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the following businesses for their invaluable contributions:

  • Jacobs: Our primary sponsor, whose generous support made this entire event possible. Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us make a difference.
  • Central Self Drive: For providing essential transport for our support vehicles. 
  • Village Hotels and Holiday Inn Express: For giving our riders a comfortable place to rest and recharge.
  • Rent a Defib: For providing crucial safety equipment that ensured the wellbeing of our participants.
  • Bubble/1895: For providing our riders with their matching tops.
  • Warrington Cycle Hub, Cyclehouse, and Giant Store Blackpool: For keeping our bikes in top shape and ready to ride.
  • Eden Water: For hydrating our team throughout the journey.
  • CRS Roofing, B-Engineering, and Leisure Lakes Bikes: For providing additional sponsorship and support that made this event such a success.

Some more honourable mentions that made this event a success: Club Driver Training, Tesco and Morrisons, Mamars, United Utilities, Core Social Media and Doug Ryan the event Physio. Without Doug and his "magic thumbs", our riders would've had a far less comfortable journey. Thank you Doug for taking the time to volunteer and assist our riders.

A Journey to Remember

This ride wasn’t just about covering miles—it was about coming together as a community to support a meaningful cause. Each pedal stroke brought us closer to our goal, and each town we passed through added to the spirit and camaraderie that defined this journey. Our riders showed immense determination, battling through long days and tough terrain, always driven by the knowledge that they were making a difference.
