Trident Honda are again one of the lead sponsors in this year's Woking Bikeathon taking place on May 10th, starting at Woking Leisure Centre, and raising money for local charities.
This year the Woking Bikeathon will again have a long route of 28 miles, a short route of 13 miles, along with a Kids' Bikeathon run off road exclusively within Woking Park, for those aspiring future Bikeathoners.
At the weekend over a thousand riders took part in the return of the Woking Bikeathon and the events return can only be described as a huge success!
The event was made possible by the sponsors, Trident Honda of Ottershaw & Weybridge, Bourne Valley Garden Centre, Barlow Robbins Solicitors and Freedom Leisure, working in conjunction with Woking Borough Council. Help was also provided by The Woking Advertiser, who came in as the event's media partner and were a great support throughout the build up to the event, as well as attending the event itself.
The Woking Bikeathon, sponsored by Trident Honda, is being held on Sunday 12th May, 2013, with two routes both starting and finishing at Bishop David Brown School, Sheerwater.
Both routes go through New Haw and Chertsey, they then split with the longer route going through Egham, Chobham and Horsell, the short route returning to Woking via Ottershaw.
In 2013 the Woking Bikeathon is going to make a return to the town. The Bikeathon, which was last run in 2011 and had previously run for over 20 years in the town, previously exclusively on behalf of Leukaemia Research, is being resurrected in 2013 for local charities.
The Rotary Club of Woking will be masterminding the event, with Terry Smith, the clubs events chairman saying:
Cyclists who took part in the 23rd annual Woking Bikeathon on Sunday 15th May may have seen a few familiar faces from Trident Garages.
Richard Roberts, Managing Director, was one of the volunteers who marshalled on the course whilst Brian Cruickshank, Sales Support, and Martin Beagley, Vehicle Technician, were two of the cyclists taking part in the charity bike ride raising money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. Together, Brian and Martin have raised over £350 for the cause and successfully completed the course in under 2 hours!
