CYCLISTS and runners raised over £4000 for Cancer Research UK during the annual Tumbleup4life charity bike ride.

The event involves participants racing up the Tumble as many times as they see fit.

The struggle to conquer the Iron mountain, also known as the Tumble as many times as possible (with a maximum of 15 times) in a single day symbolizes the sheer impossible task that cancer patients undertake every day to live life in spite of a disease. Cyclists climb the mountain as many times as they can; for one this might be once, for others up to 15 times. All cyclists will push their limits at their own level, and all are agreed it is definitely one of the most physically challenging things they’ve ever done.
