CYCLISTS and cycling enthusiasts turned out in their numbers on Sunday to join in the ‘Fishy and Friends’ group ride to Linden.

The group, which had a lone female rider; Denise Jeffrey, began their journey around 05:30hrs and set out for the mining town of Linden in a solid unit riding at controlled speeds of 18-20 miles per hour.

It was a fairly uneventful and smooth ride according to the organiser of the event, Marlon ‘Fishy’ Williams. He described the ride as “lovely, it went great!”
The idea attracted the attention of a lot of cyclists and even some private entities along with other individuals.

Cycling club Team Evolution was also part of the event and donated snacks among other things to the group riders.

The club also donated beverages, sandwiches and eight chickens to the 125-mile group.
Williams had revealed that it was “the start of something new which I plan to continue to do across the country”.
