The third running of Matlock Rotary cycling fundraiser the Tissington Triangle Charity Cycle Challenge took place on June 27th.
A fantastic sunny day, failed to bring out the number of cyclists we had hoped for and despite our valiant effort with publicity, including posters, press releases, flyers, e-mails, mail shots and advertising on National Bike Week, only 44 people took part in this year’s event. This compares to 57 last year. Unfortunately we clashed with England in the World Cup, which may not have helped.
Despite the drop in attendance, those that took part really enjoyed it and said they would come back next year.
Everything went well, we had no injuries or participants getting lost and marshals and checkpoints did a sterling job.
Before committing to next year we need to increae the attendacne Please email your thoughts feedback and any constructive suggestions to tissingtontriangle@hotmail.co.uk
