GJD complete 60 mile bike challenge

Date published: 10 July 2017


Team GJD completed the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride on Sunday 9 July to help raise money for The Christie charity.

The Christie’s Manchester to Blackpool bike ride is the charity’s largest cycling event and is attended by over 6,000 cyclists each year.

Team GJD consisted of Greg Stuttle, Paul Tibbenham and Andrew Dale.

To date GJD has raised £375. The money will be used to carry out more research and give more people the very best treatment and care – and save even more lives.

Greg Stuttle, GJD’s Business Development Manager commented: “It was a brilliant event and the atmosphere was fantastic. Although it was tough challenge, it was extremely rewarding and we will be taking part next year.”

The event started from the Imperial War Museum on Salford Quays. The route covered 60 miles from Manchester, along the scenic country lanes of Lancashire and then finished on the South Promenade in Blackpool.

Team GJD crossed the finish line together in a time of four hours and ten minutes.
