Hundreds take part in annual Beaverbrooks Bike Ride for Trinity Hospice
Work colleagues, family groups, serious cyclists and fun riders all joined in, with start and finish points at Fairhaven Lake and at the Bay Horse in Thornton on Sunday.
The sun was shining, making it a great day for a bike ride around the Fylde’s coastal and countryside routes.

Hide AdTrinity volunteers were out in force helping with registrations and marshalling duties, and fundraisers hope the event will have raised more than £20,000 for the hospice.
One member of the Trinity Fundraising team, Jackie Bullock, raised over £400 by taking part in the event to mark her 50th birthday, and a group of cyclists from Merlin Entertainment used the event as a training run for their planned Blackpool Tower to Eiffel Tower ride next summer. Marjorie Conroy, 77, completed the 15 mile route from the Bay Horse in Thornton while little Berik Zhaxybekov, who is just six years old, also completed the 15 mile ride.
