200 cyclists complete 77-mile challenge from Skye Bridge to Kessock Bridge
About 200 cyclists took part in the 77-mile Bridge to Bridge Highland Cycle event from the Skye Bridge to the Kessock Bridge yesterday (September 7).
This is the third year of the event and this year’s chosen charities were the Elsie Normington Foundation, The Leanne Fund and Day1 Mentoring.
The event was originally set up by businessman Willie Gray and a group of friends from Culbokie and it has grown in size each year.
"I'm proud to be part of the Bridge to Bridge team, organising this incredible event for the third year,” said Mr Gray who is the managing director of Ark Estates.
“The cycle is always a fantastic day, we've had such positive feedback from participants in previous years who consistently praise our dedicated army of volunteers for making it such a special experience.
Mr Gray said thanks to the event’s generous sponsors, 100 per cent of the money raised will go straight to the charities which were all doing fantastic work locally.
"We've been blown away by the success of the event over the last couple of years, and we can't wait for this year's cycle," he said.
Brian Scobbie was first to finish the race.
