24-Hour Cycle Challenge in Memory of Lou
) (2).jpg)
On Friday 30th & Saturday 31st October, we’ll be hosting a 24-hour cycle challenge to raise money for St John’s Hospice, in memory of our lovely member Lou.
The challenge has been organised by Lou’s friend Vicky, and we’re very happy to be supporting it here at Salt Ayre.
Anyone who knew Lou will know just how much she loved the gym and her classes. She was full of energy, always up for a challenge and brought so much fun and personality with her.
We’ll have two spin bikes set up by reception, with the aim of keeping them going for a total of 24 hours across the two days.
Get involved!
Slots are bookable in 15-minute blocks. You can book one bike for 15 minutes, book several consecutive slots if you fancy going for longer, or grab a friend and book both bikes so you can ride together.
And as Saturday is Halloween, fancy dress is very welcome! 🎃
Book your slot:
Morning slots - 06.15 – 11.45
Afternoon slots - 12.00 - 17.45
Evening slots - 18.00 – 21.00
