More than £4,000 was raised during an annual charity bike ride in Romney Marsh.
More than 200 members of the Folkestone Channel Rotary Club joined for a variety of cycling distances on Sunday, July 7, with some riding as far as 50 miles.
Organiser and former doctor Bill Whitby was delighted with the day’s event, saying it once again raised awareness of illnesses like Prostate Cancer.
“This wonderful event received remarkable support from the community,” he said.

“It reflects many elements of Rotary which include having fun, supporting our local community, fund raising and helping those in need.
“If the weather was better I have no doubt we would have raised even more, but when you consider in the first few years we were raising about £1,000 it is still fantastic.
Winners of the event were ‘The B Team,’ who completed the course in 2 hours 18 minutes, before they received their Team Wheel Trophy.
The Bike Ride has now nearly raised an incredible £60,000 for causes like The Poppy Appeal and other local Rotary charities from its base at St Mary in the Marsh.
