MORE than 40 riders took part in the Rotary Club of Stanford-le-Hope & Corringham Annual Mountain Bike Ride on Sunday at One Tree Hill.

This was the ride’s third year and, apart from the normal course, there was a more adventurous course on offer.

All of those who took part had the opportunity to raise funds for their chosen charities or organisation and the photograph shows one of the Leukaemia Care team who took part.

The Rotary Club would like to thank Nick Stanley the Park Ranger and Essex Wildlife Trust for their continued support with the event.

Next year’s race will take place on Sunday 11 October 2009 at One Tree Hill.
