The Winners!

Raffle winners....Well done Mr & Mrs Nicholls....have a good Christmas.

Another big thank you to everyone who bought a ticket.

£206 Brilliant!

The Christmas raffle has now been drawn, congratulations to the winners. The Sutton branch of the Derbyshire Building Society sold £120 worth of tickets and the Alfreton branch sold £86, a brilliant overall total of £206!!!

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT A TICKET AND TO ALL THE DERBYSHIRE STAFF WHO HELPED OUT.

There has also been a lot of generous donations made on the JustGiving website and in person to us. Sponsorship has now reached £673, which is fantastic.

Cold and Foggy but spirits are high!

The winter is here! Biking is tough this week, it is really cold, plus freezing fog has set in, minus 3 this morning....not nice! My hands were numb by the time I got to work, then the hot aches set in...ouch!!! Only one thing for it...straight on to the internet and ordered some heated gloves...can't wait for them to arrive!

Not all bad this week though! The raffle is to be drawn this week and a substantial amount of money has been raised. This has not been fully counted yet so when I get the final figure I will post the result. Donations have also flooded in on the JustGiving website. Again I will give a full summary very shortly.

Other news this week is since I started biking in June I have now reached a total 1000 miles.

Good week for donations!

Thank you to everyone who has kindly donated this week. Donations to the JustGiving site has raised £110 and the raffle has raised £70 so far. Fingers crossed that peoples generosity carries on!

Not a brilliant week on the bike, TWO flat tyres! Bought myself gel filled innertubes so hopefully they will improve things.

Roll on the lighter nights so I can get some decent mileage in, and see what I am doing when the tyres go down!!

Thanks again everyone for your support
