Charity bike ride from London to Manchester.

For the last few years Darren Frostick from Red Recruit has ridden his bike to the BAR conference to raise money for charity.  This year he went one stage further and roped in a couple of friends to do likewise.  Paul Fox from Fox Moving & Storage and Lee Durso from Pickfords joined Darren to ride from London to Manchester. 

The 199-mile ride took place over two days and took the trio a total of 13hrs 18min in the saddle. Richard Summers, Pickford’s Group Compliance Manager drove the support van.

The charities chosen were: the Removals Benevolent Association, Marie Curie Cancer Charity & the charity adopted by Pickfords - NSPCC.  Lee raised over £500 for the NSPCC with Paul and Darren adding nearly £1,000 for their chosen causes. 

There was a competition during the BAR conference to guess the total distance and the time taken. Ian Studd from Harrow Green guessed the time correctly and Greg Wildman of Basil Fry worked out the exact distance.
