Quite simply, Pumping Thighs, as the name might suggests, is a cycle group. There are around 10 of them altogether. They started cycling together as a group in 2002. Their first trip together was the Camino to Santiago de Compostella ride in Spain; since then they have gone on many more trips across Europe and the UK. Interestingly, although though don’t make a practice of doigng charity runs, during one of their first trips they raised an amazing £2000 for a sensory garden at St Nicholas School. Our current President, Tony Loughran is one of the Pumping Thighs members and great advocate for getting on your bike – “it’s great fun,” says Tony, and “definitely a great way to get fit!”
