Wind and rain doesn’t put off ride ’n’ diners
Monday 7th July 2008, 1:00PM BST.
RIDE, dine and rain were the order of the day in yesterday’s money-raiser for Les Bourgs Hospice development fund.
More than 500 cyclists left the starting points at Saumarez Park and Salerie Corner in the event formerly called Rock to Rocque.
Wind and rain failed to deter riders who were firmly focused on helping the cause.
Paul Wakeham, 43, took part dressed in a gorilla suit. ‘I enjoy doing it, it’s for a good cause, and I like to be a bit different,’ said Mr Wakeham.
The postman was taking part in the event on a 1959 postman cycle that had no gears.
