Warren Davies, Andrew Riley,
George Aylward, Gwyn Lloyd and St Collen’s vicar Andrew Sully made a 50-mile
round trip from Llangollen to Bala and back.
Warren Davies said: "The weather
was actually excellent for November, which really helped as our legs started to
feel weary on the way back.
“Ebola is a devastating disease
for families in West Africa. However, the solutions to stopping it spreading
are incredibly simple. The money raised here will be spent on basic medical
equipment, things like gloves and disinfectant.”
He added: “If there is sufficient
interest in the future, there are plans to turn this November ride into an annual
fundraiser.
“We are just shy of our £500
target and any further donations to this very worthy cause are most welcome at www.justgiving.com/bala-and-back.”
