4 men, 3 bikes, 1 van, 520 miles, 22,460 feet of ascent…and no satnav!

Check out the updated photo gallery as the guys arrive at Land Rover Portsmouth!

Starting on Sunday 13th September, Mark Carpenter - Sytner Group Finance Director, along with two colleagues - Adam Jordan and John Buchan cycled from our northernmost dealership in Edinburgh to our southernmost dealership in Portsmouth and completed this journey over six gruelling days - with the aim of raising £50,000 for MacMillan. Each dealership that they visited held a fundraising event as they arrived.

None of us will need reminding of the great work of MacMillan Cancer Support – regrettably most of us will have been touched at some time by knowing someone with cancer.

To make a donation please go to www.justgiving.com/mark-carpenter0 or you could send a cheque to Mark at Sytner Head Office made payable to ‘MacMillan Cancer Support’.

Audi and Volkswagen Harrogate - Tuesday 15th September

To support the Sytner fundraising bike ride Harrogate Audi held its own charity day in aid of Macmillan cancer support.

They ran a ‘design a car’ competition in conjunction with a local school, of which there were three winners who all won a new bike.
Our very own charity riders presented the bikes to the winners during their brief stop at Harrogate Audi.

Their team also had a ‘cycle off’ between Harrogate Audi & Harrogate VW, with the winners being the dealership clocking the most miles in a day on the static exercise bikes. VW won 167k to 163k!

The dealership also held raffles, quizzes & lucky dips throughout the day; with the dealership open to the public as a coffee stop!
