Phil and friends go cycling in the Peak District
The Phil and Friends Challenge Ride starts and ends in Stannington, near Sheffield, every August. This was the seventh ride, and as always, was led by Phil Liggett, the ‘voice of cycling’. The ride benefits the CTC Charitible Trust.
There were a couple of hundred participants with the ‘friends’ being Eurosport commentator David Harmon, Quickrelease.tv’s Carlton Reid, and Ron Gray, founder of the Lanterne Rouge club.
Riding with this bunch for part of the way were Brian Robinson, the first Brit to finish the Tour de France (with Vic Denison in 1955), and Martyn Bolt, a councillor with Kirklees Council. Evidence of Bolt’s power was seen on the drag up Holme Moss – council workers had painted permanent road markings telling cyclists the distance to the summit.
