THE generous people of Furness wheelie tried hard not to let a killer virus stop them riding their way to success.
Participants of the Tour de Furness were dealt a blow this year when the annual event had to be called off to comply with Coronavirus restrictions.
But the show wheelie did go on, after organisers The Rotary Club of Furness thought around the problem.
The annual event was held virtually for 2020 meaning riders racing for charity could cycle the allotted routes in their own time, or cycle routes of their own making.
In total they raised more than £7,000 for local charities.
In honour of all those who have taken part this year and previous years, we take a look back at previous memories of the Tour de Furness from The Mail’s archive photographs.
