Raising Funds for Isabel Hospice
A new event , the inaugural Tour d'Amwell took place on Sunday August 2nd 2009. Twenty Five cyclists completed a 20 mile, sponsored bike ride through the Hertfordshire Countryside. Setting off from the village hall at Great Amwell, their route took them through various villages and fords before they returned, just over two hours later for a well earned drink and a delicious supper.
The final results will be available shortly but we can say that their efforts have raised a substantial sum for Isabel Hospice.
A huge thank you to all of the riders, to everyone who came along and helped on the day, to the ladies from Inner Wheel who organised the food and especially to Amwell Club member Gwyn Marson who came up with the idea. Thanks to Ron Shuttleworth, we have some excellent photographs from the event. Here are just a few of them!
