Breheny claims victory at St Elizabeth Hospice’s RideFest final

The team from local civil engineering company, Breheny, claimed the yellow jersey at St Elizabeth Hospice’s RideFest final on 8th March after cycling 10.73kms in the final round of the competition.

Breheny fought off fellow finalists Beagle Property, Howden Joinery and even beat a second team of their own to claim the bragging rights for the next 12 months.

Dan Croft from Breheny also took home the crown for the fasted kilometer on the night, completing the distance in just 42 seconds.

Other winners at the grand final, held at Trinity Park, included Shaun Collins from Beagle Property who took the crown in the CEO race. And one of the highlights of the evening was the mascot race which was won by Pound the Hound from Ipswich Building Society for the second year in a row.

SJ Middleton, corporate fundraising manager for St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We’ve had a fantastic evening and well done to Breheny on their victory. Thanks really do go to everyone who has taken part in RideFest throughout February and March and helped raise money for the hospice. The charity needs to generate £10.5million a year to provide our services free of charge to our patients and the money raised by these dedicated businesses will really help us look after local people and their families. Here’s to RideFest 2019!”
