On July 2nd, 100 riders will set out to complete the 100-mile challenge around the country lanes of Cheshire.

They will be raising funds for The Joshua Tree, a local charity which supports families affected by childhood cancer.

Catriona Marshall, founder of Transforming Lives charity, who organises the annual event, said: "We all know how tough the last couple of years has been for charities and we’re keen to help, whilst giving the heroes who get on their bikes to raise money, a fantastic experience.

"If you’re a cyclist who’d like to make a difference, please come and ride with us."

The event welcomes riders for whom 100 miles will be a major achievement alongside those who have the experience to sail through a century. The event will be supported by Rolls-Royce Manchester, who will be providing four Rolls-Royce Cullinans to lead each rider group.

The ride starts in Goostrey, after hot breakfast baps and a warm up, and will go through some of Cheshire’s most beautiful countryside, heading out to the peak of the Cat and Fiddle and returning via The Joshua Tree’s new centre in Sandiway, and back to Goostrey for a BBQ.

Catriona Marshall said: "This is very much a community event, supported by local businesses, who are keen to help raise funds for The Joshua Tree.

"100% of donations raised by the riders will go to the charity. We’ve raised over £270,000 for charity since we started The Cheshire Dash in 2018."
