On Sunday, The Brentford FC Community Sports Trust team saddled up and took part in the Ride London-Surrey 100. Joining over 25,000 riders, the Trust team cycled through the streets of London and over the hills of Surrey to raise money for charitable causes.

Two months of training, and a specially commissioned BFC CST shirt, meant that not only did the Trust team complete the 100 mile ride but they did it in style

Team BFC CST, which included three peloton teams and six individual riders, were raising money to support the Trust’s valuable work in the community. With a target set at £10,000, Trust Executive Lee Doyle hopes that the money raised can be used to invest in the creation of a new trainee position at the Trust.

Connecting members of the Trust, Club and their corporate partners – the Trust team welcomed a variety of personnel with a wide-ranging level of cycling experience.

Lee Doyle, Chief Executive at Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, said: "It was a brilliant day spent with a fantastic group of people; the camaraderie developed between the team is why we all love sport. Credit to the organisers and those who developed the Ride 100 for a sporting event that the nation can be proud of. Bring on next year."

The Trust would like to thank everyone who has supported the event, be it as a rider or sponsor, including Willmott Dixon, JLL, The Window Centre, Reliable Networks, Taylor Wessing, Galileo Homes and SmartOdds. Also a special thank you to Evans Cycles (Brentford High Street) who supplied bikes for some of the peloton riders.

The Trust are still taking donations, so if you would like to help them race over the line please visit www.brentfordfccst.com.

Team BFC CST is hopeful of securing more places in the 2016 Ride London-Surrey 100.
