It is eight years since childrens’ charity ACCA launched its annual bike ride and the 2017 event produced a stunning €7,000 which will go towards the causes it supports.
ACCA’s President, Wanda Crawford, who master-minded the event from the start, is delighted with the growing interest… and the enthusiasm of the cyclists who chose to cover routes of 25k, 50k, or an impressive 75k on the day, mapped out by Paul Beesley of Algarve Bike Holidays.
Sponsors this year included Abacus, Curiosa, Quinta Properties, Atelier do Sol and Invesco; the Conrad, a major supporter of ACCA’s work, provided a host of auction prizes, which produced €3,535 and laid on a lavish all-you-can-eat buffet for the keen cyclists who worked up an appetite on their journey.
