We would like to say a huge well done and thank you to everyone who took part in the #360Challenge yesterday. Unfortunately the weather didn't hold out but hopefully everyone had a great day of riding regardless. We have already been discussing ideas for next year's event. Special thanks to Goosepool House & Café and Earl Of Zetland for allowing us to use their venues and supporting our event. Take a look at our photographs: https://flic.kr/s/aHskU8gU8b

Northumbria Blood Bikes are thrilled to reveal the new motorbike purchased from the Tesco Bags of Help funding scheme. Colleagues at the store were given the opportunity to name the bike but as a mark of respect they gave this honour to the family of Chris Webster. Chris had been a keen fundraising volunteer for NBB, up until his health declined, and he sadly passed away earlier this year. Chris’ family chose to name the bike ‘Rush’ which had been his nickname.

Today it was a pleasure to hand over the keys for Bella to Madathlon, which has served Northumbria Blood Bikes well since it entered operational service on Sunday 24th August 2014.

Bella and Claire where originally purchased with funds from Madathlon for Northumbria Blood Bikes and its great to see both bikes back together to enjoy their retirement.
