AS Chris Froome and the Tour de France approached Paris in July , St Peter and St Paul's inaugural Bike Ride for Lighthouse 88 got under way.
Lighthouse 88 is a registered charity which provides a children's holiday week run by Christians from the local churches in the Great Missenden and Prestwood area of Bucks. The ride was a great success with 47 people taking part in the family cycle ride along the Phoenix Trail between Thame and Horsenden, near Princes Risborough.
At 2pm the sun shone, bikes, helmets and smiles gleamed in anticipation of the afternoon in the country along the flat, traffic free path and lots of friends were made along the way. There were three categories, 2. 8 miles, 7 miles and 13 miles and lots of people went on to the complete the long leg and enjoyed the refreshments and snacks laid on at the half way point at the church in Horsenden.
Luckily everyone came back hungry and thirsty and tucked in to the tea and cakes back at Thame Scout Hall which raised £69.
Hundreds of pounds have been raised already and sponsorship money is still coming in.
Please support the event by sending cheques made payable to 'Lighthouse 88' to the Parish Office, 2 Walnut Close, Great Missenden HP16 9AL. Hundreds of children come along to enjoy Lighthouse each year and learn about God's love for us all.
Lighthouse is free but donations are collected and fundraising is essential to ensure this event can keep running each year.
