Everyone that took part has done their bit not only for the record but also for The Christie, who were overwhelmed

We had former Olympic athlete Iwan Thomas (pictured middle, left) along for a few hours at the start of the event. He absolutely loved the event, jumping on a bike for an hour and even singing to Gemma Caswell, who was celebrating her birthday by getting all sweaty raising money for The Christie (thanks for putting the birthday plans on hold for us by the way Gemma!).
We managed to generate enough energy to break the record several times over and, with the amount of electricity we generated, we could have powered the entire Empire State Building (only for one minute but it’s a BIG building!).
We must say a
massive thank you to everyone involved, you guys were great! The guys doing 24 hours were fantastic (Carl pictured left) and we even had one cyclist who turned up to do half and hour then decided to push himself and so another 20 hours!! Unbelievable commitment! We had some very young people cycling away which was great to see and the mini-watt bikes that we had for the kids unable to take part in the main record were always being used. It was great to see everyone getting into the spirit of the event and really enjoying themselves. The venue staff were fantastic so thanks to all at The Velodrome and who knows… maybe Soreen could become record breakers again; just need a new record to smash. Any ideas?!...
