The 9th Annual Charity Bike Ride on 5 May brought in a whopping €7,200 for ACCA, the charity that makes a difference to the lives of under-privileged children across the Algarve.
Sixty riders, from lively youngsters to energetic seniors, took part, meeting the challenge of cycling distances from a gentle 10kms to a demanding 75km from the hotel.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, including the Conrad, QP Properties, Algarve Holiday Bike Rides, Abacus, Atelier do Sul, Family Medical, and Curiosa Indoor & Outdoor Furniture, the event ¬– held in conjunction with the DM Thomas Foundation for Young People – kick-started ACCA’s fund-raising summer programme. Jubilant riders enjoyed not only pride in their achievement, but culinary treats on their return to the hotel.
