So, last July in a beautiful sunny day, hundreds of people gathered in Witherington town centre to take part in and support the event. In the weeks leading up to the special day various preparations had been made. Meetings were held to plan the day itself, the route was agreed upon and officials were chosen to line the route. Sponsor forms were printed and distributed to participants so they could collect names and addressess of people wishing to sponsor them, and a huge advertising campaign was launched in and around the town centre to raise awareness of the event. The day itself was a huge success. Everyone woke up early and gathered at the starting point outside the Town Hall . A huge hot-air balloon was launched and it hovered over the crowds and cyclists throughout the event. Moments before the starting pistol was fired, I glanced round to find myself surrounded by cyclists and bikes of all shapes and sizes cycling through the streets, I barely had time to notice my tiredness. Crowds cheering lined the route waving flags, banners and balloons. Thankfully, refreshments were handed to us as we rode past various points along the way. Everyone managed to finish, and they were all given a huge round of applause. Never before had I realised how much can be achieved through cooperation. We not only managed to achieve our aim, but also strengthened our sense of community spirit. All those which participated in the Witherington sponsored bike ride were left with a feeling that almost anything can beachieved through community effort and now we are planning another event to raise money for a new library. Participating in this event also gave me a sense of personal satisfaction for having helped, in however small a way, to save another human being's life.
