Well folks, what a day!  We are absolutely overwhelmed at the feedback we have had for our first running of the SPF Lancashire Lanes raising funds for Kevin Humphries SPF Charity K3 Zadara Race Across Europe. A magnificent £5000 was raised in total.

The weather was glorious and the turnout was amazing.

In total we had 299 entries with 274 actually taking on the route.

We have a lot of people to thank for making this happen.

Firstly thank you to:

• Phil & Vicky Thomas from Aintree Osteopaths for giving the SPF and Thatto Cycles the opportunity to stage this great event.
• To Thatto Cycles Team Paul Stead & Family, Tel, Jo, Paul Lynch who all assisted in every aspect of the ride. Absolutely phenomenal support as ever.
• Graham Ward for advice and expertise on Traffic Management.
• North Mersey Business Centre - Steve Dumbell for the usage of the car park and excellent facilities.
• Karen Sledge & Brindle St Josephs Community Hall - Perfect Idyllic location for the food stop.
• Buttylicious Thatto Heath - Preparation and delivery of the phenomenal Beans & Toast. You can't beat beans on toast, proper race food.
• The SPF volunteers, Linzi Prescott. Alex & Roy Chicken, Cathy Varley, Ade Cunliffe, June Orford, Carrie Denning, Tony Harmon and Race Across Europe Support Team.
• All Kevin Humphries family and friends :- Mrs Humphries, sisters Julie and Elaine who helped with registration this morning. Brother in law Jon. Chris Green and Mike Holmes.
• The Bikeriders Marshalls who where fantastic and provided an excellent link between riders and control.
• To everyone else who helped, a massive thank you.

And finally to all the riders who took part, without you we could not help those less fortunate.
