Solidor set for Dougie Mac Bike Ride

A fantastic four from local door specialists Solidor are taking on Douglas Macmillan Hospice’s Bike Ride on Sunday 18th May, to show their support for Blurton-based charity.

The recent double winners at The Sentinel Business Awards will be taking on the 110 mile Llangollen route as well as sponsoring the event.

They will be joined by over 150 entrants who will embark across the 10 mile local route, the 50 Nantwich route and the aforementioned Llangollen trek.

Last year’s Bike Ride was a record year for entrants with over 1000 entrants taking part and over £55,000 raised in sponsorship.

Gareth Mobley, Solidor Managing Director commented,

“We’re proud to be sponsoring the Dougie Mac Bike Ride. I am a keen cyclist and we also sponsor an elite youth cycling team BH Solidor Wam.

“Myself and 3 of the Solidor team will be cycling the 110 mile route to Llangollen to support the Hospice further and we have already signed up.

“The Hospice is close to our hearts with it having cared for my father and former M.D of Solidor, Andrew Mobley. They do a great job and deserve our support.”

Liz Clarke, Head of Fundraising added,

“We would like to congratulate Gareth and Solidor on their recent success, and thank them for sponsoring the Bike Ride and our Annual Lunch as well as Gareth taking part.

“All monies raised from the Bike Ride will ensure the Hospice can provide the highest level of care for local people of North Staffordshire facing a life limiting illness.”

Supporters can sign up for the Bike Ride, which takes place on Sunday 18th May from the Michelin Athletic Centre; by visiting www.dougiemacevents.co.uk.
