00:00 Thank you to all of you for coming for the local marathons, which is so important.
00:06 Every year we have a lot of people coming to the marathons.
00:09 So, just to be said, a massive good luck, I hope you all have a good time,
00:14 and I hope you all finish well at the end and have a great time.
00:19 Thank you, that's Sharon Pickering for Olympia.
00:23 A lovely lady who's helping us start the march for Picro.
00:27 I just want to say thank you for having me,
00:31 and thank you so much for such a big turnout.
00:35 We're getting so much fun going.
00:37 I'm actually here with the Paddles and Matches, who are from the UK.
00:40 You can come over and talk to us, I'm with the Blue Group.
00:43 It's just an amazing turnout, I just wanted to start the race. Thank you.
00:47 Are we ready?
00:49 We are all ready to get out on the way,
00:52 and it's quite inexhaustible, I think, carrying all of this stuff.
00:56 OK, here we go, three, two, one, hands on head,
00:59 don't clap, don't do anything.
01:01 Five, four, three, two, one.
01:05 You're off!
01:07 Thank you, guys.
01:09 Have a good one, everybody.

02:40 It's fabulous, it's great to see so many people up on a Sunday morning.
02:45 It's a good day for it, it's dry, sunshine,
02:49 just so many people up cycling,
02:51 and great to see so many kids as well getting involved.
02:55 It's just been such a good cause to be able to do events like this
02:59 for local charities where every penny can make such a difference.
03:03 It's really great to be back at the Greater Havarty Bike Ride,
03:06 raising really important money for Sussex Search and Rescue,
03:10 for Bipolar, and of course supported by amazing local volunteers
03:14 from our brilliant Rotary team and the Mid Sussex Radio here.
03:18 And of course all the bars and restaurants getting the benefit of the support
03:22 for our really important hospitality sector.
03:25 I know those bike riders having been here over the years,
03:28 giving out the medals and the T-shirts and supporting people as they go.
03:32 It really matters getting that cheer when they come back
03:35 and somewhere to rest and recuperate.
03:37 It's a beautiful area to bike ride and I'm really proud to be part of it.
03:41 Thanks to Ruth and all the team for making it happen another year.
03:44 So my name's John Stebbings, I work for the Fakham,
03:48 we are the lead sponsor of the event.
03:50 I think it's a fantastic opportunity for people to get involved and get active.
03:53 I think it's an opportunity for us in terms of being community involved as well,
03:58 and I think therefore we're a community-led part of what we do at Fakham.
04:01 It's something we base our schemes upon and our ethos and how we work.
04:06 I think that for me personally, I think there's a huge element to this about wellbeing
04:10 and getting people active.
04:12 With everything we've been through over the last few years as a community,
04:15 I think it's great to see people out there getting active and enjoying it.
04:18 It's another great event in Helsinki.
04:21 The weather is absolutely perfect for a bike ride.
04:24 It's been organised by the Rotary Club, the sponsors are amazing,
04:30 like Mike Oliver, and everybody's having a wonderful time.
04:34 I saw little children on bikes, I saw mums and dads with the baby in the back.
04:40 And once again, the sun is shining, and it's just a very happy event.
04:46 And all for two good causes, for Bifolio UK and for Sussex Search and Rescue.
04:53 So yeah, a lot to be happy about today.
