The fastest kilometre times were:

1) Daniel Keatings 1.08min

2) Danny Hay 2nd 1.16min

=3) Steve & Abyie Storrie 1.17min

Moral support for one of the cyclists at the event

Organiser Morgan Hay said on social media: “Thank you to everyone who came to do some mile - there were some amazing efforts by all involved.

“Thank you also to everyone who shared our event and donated - even if you can’t attend our fundraising events in person, we always appreciate your support in any way you can give it.

“Also a massive thank you to the staff of Anytime Fitness Corby who hosted us and worked hard to help make the event a success. We couldn’t have done it without you!”
