Pub managers and staff from six Wetherspoon outlets across Leeds joined forces to raise £10,000 for CLIC Sargent in a charity cycle challenge.
The nine-strong team, seven cyclists and two in the support vehicle, kindly lent by Bridgehouse Brewery, in Oxenhope, cycled from London to Paris.
The fund-raisers were from Becketts Bank, Stick or Twist, The Cuthbert Brodrick, The Hedley Verity, Wetherspoons and The Crossed Shuttle, Pudsey.
The sponsored cycle ride began from Hammersmith, in London, via Newhaven and Dieppe, through 70 miles of flood waters on one day, arriving at the Eiffel Tower in Paris four days later.
