CARTEN 2018
With some nice weather and 2500 riders the CARTEN 2018 was a huge success, and we raised a total of £147,469 for so many great Welsh causes! We also dedicated the ride to a Ride for Simon.

2018 Sponsors
Our 2018 campaign achieved an incredible figure of £34,900! We were very grateful to our regular sponsors Resolve it, SofaSofa, Tredz, Romilly Financial, Bridgend Ford, Persimmon Homes, AD Gas Services, ForeSite Surveyors and Integral Geotechnique for their continued support. We were also delighted to welcome returning sponsor Effective HRM and new sponsors Lewis Civil Engineering, Fussells, Hawkes and Sigma 3 on the CARTEN100 shirt for the first time. Thank you all very much for your very generous donations!
In addition to our shirt sponsors we also receive invaluable help and support from numerous other individuals and businesses. We would like to particularly thank Bridgend Ford and SofaSofa for their provision of support vans on the day of the ride. We would also like to thank those volunteers for their technical support on the day. A big thank you also goes to Steve from Mckenzie Dry Stores who supplies all of the bananas to keep us going along the route and to Prince’s Gate for keeping us hydrated.
