If you’ve raced in Ireland in recent years, chances are Toby has photographed you. And you will certainly have seen his photos on stickybottle. Toby’s Charity Cycle began six years ago to mark Toby’s birthday and it has a grown to a 300-rider sportive with a whopping £15,000 raised.
All of the money goes to help children fighting cancer. Because the sportive and the associated fund-raising effort is all run by volunteers, there are no costs related to administration or employing anyone. There’s no middle man; the money goes straight to the cause. The details of this weekend’s cycle in Belfast are set out below.
