4 Abbeys Cycle Challenge

Club members gave assistance to the Children 1^st Charity by successfully marshalling The 4 Abbeys Cycle Challenge.  The Challenge was a great opportunity for cyclists of all abilities to take in the beautiful scenery of the Scottish Borders.

The 55 mile main route took in the four historic abbeys of the Scottish Borders at Melrose, Jedburgh, Kelso and Dryburgh, whilst the 11 mile family meander circuit started in Melrose and headed up to Scotts View and then down to Dryburgh and back to Melrose.  

President Peter Croan stated that he was proud that the club could be of some assistance to a very worthwhile charity whose vision is a happy, healthy, safe and secure childhood for every child and young person in Scotland. All of the money raised from the event will go towards giving children and young people across Scotland the help and support they need and deserve.

Children 1^st is the new name for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which has established 125 years ago to protect children from abuse and neglect.
