The Wrong Way Back Charity Cycle Ride 2013

The Wrong Way Back are currently looking for sponsors for next year's charity cycle ride. They are looking for local people or businesses that would be able to supply items, from first aid kits to fuel for the support vehicle. Are you able to help? Please contact Neil Spinney via email and let him know what you can offer, or we can give you a full list of items the team still requires.

The Wrong Way Back charity cycle ride will start from the Dolphin Hotel in Wincanton on 1st June and will finish back at the same location 8th June 2013. The Dolphin Hotel will be putting on fund raising events when the riders leave and when they return.

The route will take riders from Wincanton up to Minehead and along the north coast to Land's End where they will then head back along the south coast to Weymouth. From there they will head back in land to Wincanton.

Each rider will cycle an average of 80 miles a day to complete this 560 mile challenge. For more details on the route the riders will take, and to follow their progress please visit the team's website.

The Wrong Way Back started life in 2009 as an idea between Neil Spinney and Mark Henley. The first Wrong Way Back charity ride followed the same route and took place in June 2010 with three riders - Neil Spinney, Mark Henley and Dave Taton. The aim was to raise money for the MS Society and Alzheimer's Society. The sum raised was in excess of £2,000!!

For 2013, The Wrong Way Back team has grown to eight riders and they will be raising money and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Support and Help for Heroes.

Current corporate sponsors are as follows:

Dolphin Hotel Wincanton
FJ Chalke Ltd
Hamlets Letting Agents
