Report a Fault The weather was kind allowing a great turn out for the annual Gadbrook Park” Bike to Work Day” supported and sponsored by the BID. In total there were 91 participants an increase of 20 over last year.
The main organiser of the event who cycled in on a tandem from Appleton with his wife Angela was Stephen Hall the MD of HMD.
Stephen arranged for Richard from “WILD BIKES” based in Stockton Heath to display a range of magnificent bikes beneath a gazebo at Arabica.
At the park entrance every cyclist and one or two peckish pedestrians supplied with packs of biscuits and cakes by Mike Roberts of Roberts Bakery. The surplus packs went onto be donated to the Red Cross in Winsford.
All cyclists also had a voucher for a breakfast and free entry into a prize draw.

- Richard from Wild Bikes for giving up his day to help us and provide free advice.
