County Charity Cycle - Register now...
On Saturday 17th March 2012, Stockport County supporters are getting
on their bikes for the "County Charity Cycle" to raise money for good
causes.
The bike ride will follow a route from Stockport County FC’s stadium at
Edgeley Park to Southport FC’s ground at Haig Avenue, ahead of the
fixture between both teams in the Blue Square Premier League.
Co-ordinated by County fans, Russ Johnson, David Roe and Adrian Stores;
and Amanda Brown from St Ann's Hospice, the event will raise money for
St Ann's Hospice and Stockport County Supporters' Co-operative.
Catering for leisurely, fun cyclists and more seasoned riders, the ride
is open to all who want to join in.
Anyone wishing to take part should be 16 years of age or over. Cost of
entry is £15 and all riders gain free entry into the match, courtesy of
Southport Football Club. The selected route covers a total of 46.7
miles, and is flat.
Southport's Director and Commercial Manager, Haydn Preece, comments: "Of
course we will give free entry for those cycling as fundraisers on the
day"
The generous sponsors assisting the County Charity Cycle include
Bullocks and P Fahey & Sons (who will return the cyclists and their
bikes respectively to Stockport), Parfetts, Life Leisure, Leemic and
Decathlon.
County’s Commercial Manager, Rob Clare said “I think a cycle ride to
Southport sounds like a good idea and St Ann’s Hospice would appreciate
some extra support”. He has agreed to cycle himself.
The leading male and female fundraisers will receive a special, limited
edition "26 – Cycling” 3 piece kit from the Olympic Range of clothing
kindly donated by Adidas.
Registration costs just £15 and includes both match entry and
complimentary transport back from the game for you and your bike!
