A Community Coming Together
The Sanetti Charity Ride was more than just a fundraising event; it was a gathering of the local cycling community, with participants coming from nearby towns and cities to take part. Many riders joined with their local clubs, while others came solo, looking to connect with fellow cyclists for a day of fun and meaningful action.
Before the ride began, the group assembled at the starting point for a welcoming ceremony, where representatives from both Sanetti and the supported charity gave inspiring speeches. The atmosphere was electric, as riders prepared for the day’s adventure knowing that their efforts would contribute to a great cause.
Sanetti’s pro rider Annie Solheim was on hand as well, adding her support to the event and offering words of encouragement. “Riding with a purpose changes the entire experience,” Solheim said. “It’s incredible to see so many people come together for this cause. I’m proud to be part of a community that can make a difference.”
The Ride: Miles with Meaning
The ride itself was designed to be both enjoyable and challenging, offering scenic routes through rolling hills and countryside. Riders in the 100 km challenge faced steep climbs and fast descents, while the 50 km and 20 km routes offered a more relaxed pace, perfect for families and recreational cyclists.
Along the way, support stations were set up at key points, providing water, snacks, and mechanical assistance, ensuring everyone could stay safe and hydrated. These stops also served as gathering points where riders could chat, share stories, and take in the beautiful scenery.
For many participants, the experience of riding alongside friends and strangers alike, united by a shared goal, was one of the highlights of the day. There was a palpable sense of community on the road, with cyclists offering encouragement to each other, especially on the tougher sections of the course.
A Celebratory Finish
