Biking to Benidorm

SUPPORTERS of Mangotsfield Community Association warmed to the Spanish theme of this year’s spin bike challenge at the Red Lion pub.

Fundraisers took turns to pedal the static bikes to clock up a combined total of 1,340 virtual miles in order to raise money for the MCA’s two chosen charities, St Peter’s Hospice and the Motor Neurone Disease Association, over Easter Saturday and Sunday.

Organisers were aiming to beat last year’s total of more than £4,000 at the event, which included a ‘donation barbecue’, entertainment from local DJ’s Chris & Nick from Souled Out and Gone Funky and a raffle.
