Phoenix Cycling Club raised £3,000 for the Mayor's charities, Habitat for Humanity and Corrymeela Community, during their annual sportive on Sunday, May 6.

The event, backed by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, saw Mayor Tim Morrow and Mayoress Hilary Morrow join approximately 200 cyclists for a ride through the Co Down countryside.

With three different route options available, the sportive attracted riders of all abilities, from novices and families to experienced cycling enthusiasts.

To finish off the day, the cyclists sprinted to the finish line at Lagan Valley Island to enjoy a post-ride BBQ where they had the opportunity to socialise and share their experiences of the day.

“I am proud to have taken part in Phoenix Cycling Club’s annual sportive,” Cllr Morrow said.

“Over 200 cyclists pedalled to victory in this superb event that has raised £3,000 for two very worthy causes.

“It was great to see so many people from different backgrounds come together to support my Mayoral Charities that contribute so much to our society.”
