Town's charity cyclists have successfully finished their sponsored ride to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The team completed the final 30 miles after leaving their hotel at Chichester on Saturday morning.

Fundraising has now tipped over £5,000 with donations continuing to come in after the completion of the cycle challenge.

Having made excellent progress early on in Friday's first leg, the team were forced to take shelter from the rain in the Lakeside Pub, Alresford, alongside 'Support Team' Derrick Johnson and Peter Jones and numerous jacket potatoes.

But the team pushed on after the rain break, and despite a total of four punctures on day one made it to their hotel for a well earned dinner and a good night's sleep.

Director Jeremy Wray, Chief Executive Nick Watkins, Media Manager Chris Tanner and Marketing Executive Adam Wainwright set off from The County Ground at 7.30am yesterday, hoping to complete at least 90 miles of the trip before the end of the day.

Pictured below are the team making the first step on their journey, much to the amusement of Town Assistant Manager Peter Shirtliff!

And they're off: The team depart from headquarters

The first leg of the journey took the team to Hungerford via Aldbourne - where they are pictured enjoying an early break in the morning's watery sunshine!

Early reports from Town's Head of Design/Support Vehicle Operator Derrick Johnson suggested messrs. Tanner and Wainwright were the early pace setters, with Wray and Watkins in hot pursuit not far behind.
