No such thing as bad publicity

This week Cuban Wheels have turned to the media.

We are taking part in the first Prudential Ride London event on Sunday - it will also be our first 100 mile cycle.

When we entered, I took the opportunity of sharing our story on the application form.  It was picked up by the PR agency involved and through them, Pure Radio in Stockport contacted me as they were interested in finding out more about our fundraising efforts.

I did an interview with them which was broadcast on the hourly news bulletin on Tuesday.  You can hear 2 of the broadcasts below.  The first one is about 1 minute 20 seconds in, and the second one about 1 minute

The interview also aired again on Friday:

We have also featured in Gillian's local newspaper



We are hoping to round off our week of media with an appearance on the TV!  The event is to be covered by the BBC on Sunday - there will be 20,000 cyclists whizzing by, but we will be easy to spot in our neon pink lycra shorts!
