Three riders are ready to take on the Durham Big Ride this weekend and at the same time help out stray dogs in Durham area.
Raising money for Stray Action for Dogs ( S A D), based at Deerness kennels in the City are Alan Cutting and Helen Pinkney who work at the kennels and Mark Tallentire.
Durham Big Ride will see around 1,000 people take to the roads this Sunday (Sept. 2) and raising thousands of pounds for various charities and worthy causes.
The Durham Big Ride features three, ten and 25 mile routes that are set up to enjoy by everyone.
Alan, who is manager at the kennels is happy that all the money raised is going to the dogs: “ We have quite a bit of money from our friends and through the justgiving site and when the two local firms said they would pay for the ‘S A D Team’ t- shirts we were very pleased indeed. It means that we will be seen by all of the people there and who we are riding for.”

“The shirts sponsors, Fat Buddha restaurant and Workwear Express, will also be helping with donations to the cause”. Added Alan.

The Beast, the ride’s 50-mile route, will take place 9am on Sunday, September 9.
