Aaron took part in the Cycle Derby Sportive 40 kilometre bike ride today to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer Research.

The course started at Markeaton Park and went on up to Carsington Reservoir following some of Derby’s beautiful country lanes and with a total climb of over 1800 feet.

He managed to complete the course in 2 hours and 12 minutes which for an over weight guy that only started cycling properly 2 months ago isn’t a bad time!

As we said the main reason for taking part in the Sportive was to raise money for Cancer Research and we managed to raise £385.00 + 25% gift aid.

Aaron would like to thank everyone who donated for there kind contributions (even though some just wanted to see him fall off)
