Ali Rainback’s Annual Cycle Challenge took place on the 22nd September with over 50 riders taking part in a charity bike ride in the Tarentaise Valley.

It was a hugely successful day with over €300 raised for Cancer Support France. Thank you so much for this kind donation.

Looks like everyone had a great day for a great cause.
