A group of cyclists from the Caravan Club have been praised by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) for their efforts in raising money for the charity.

Several club members teamed up with staff and industry representatives last year to take part in the 2010 London to Brighton Bike Ride.

So far they have raised £42,000, which according to the BHF is the highest sum donated in sponsorship for the event.

The Caravan Club team was made up of 140 keen cyclists, all of whom completed the 54-mile route from the capital to the south coast in June.

Chairman Grenville Chamberlain said: “We are delighted to have this recognition of the Caravan Club’s dedication to supporting the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Bike Ride.

“We are looking forward to taking part again this summer and continuing our support for the vital work of the BHF.”

The 2011 event will be taking place on Sunday June 19th and general registration is now open.
