About 180 people took part in the 10-hour event, including March woman Andrea Alexander who cycled for the whole 10 hours.

Groups were held in hourly sessions, with Mr Savage charging £5 per session to go towards Thorpe Hall. Some participants were also sponsored to take part.

Businesses sponsored some of the 20 exercise bikes used, while other organisations sponsored sessions.
