Synergy Support Pedal for Primus
Mon 05 October 2009
Synergy Connections Ltd, the Fareham, Hampshire based telemarketing company is proud to announce its support of the recent Pedal for Primus charity bike ride from Portsmouth to Bournemouth, Winchester and back to Portsmouth for Faith + Football.
40 triumphant cyclists arrived at Fratton Park on Sunday 6th September having completed the 165 mile cycle ride they had begun on Friday morning.
Pedal for Primus II was every bit as, if not more, challenging than the 2008 version with a stiff breeze competing with the riders for most of the first leg. Cliff Golledge who set the route estimated that the breeze increased the effort by 20% and many of the riders knew it by the end of the day.
But, spirits undaunted, they set off again on the Saturday to travel a further 55 miles and the trip was finalised from Winchester to Portsmouth on Sunday.
The team's return to Fratton Park coincided with a Faith & Football fun day at the club, so a large crowd, including many proud family members, was there to welcome back the tired riders who, despite all their exertions were in fine spirits as they crossed the line.
The team is hoping to have raised in excess of £30,000 to help the work of the charity, which works both at home and overseas to provide activities for under-privileged children encourage them to reach their full potential.
