Battling the Storm

CARTEN 2019 was a memorable year for the CARTEN100, it really tested the crew as it was the first time they have ever had to reschedule following storm Hannah’s arrival on the original date of the ride in the April.

Luckily we work with some fantastic people across the 107 mile route whom helped us secure the new date of the 2nd June. What followed that weekend was a fantastic day had by all our riders, volunteers and supporters. We really got the weather right this time and the atmosphere was terrific with the camaraderie that we have come to know at the CARTEN100.

We had a great photographer on the day who took shots though out the day at different stages, follow the links above to the albums, you are welcome to download them.
