Cyclists pedalled their way through Wadebridge, St Kew Highway, Trelill, St Teath, Delabole, Pendoggett, Rock and Padstow on a 25-mile route to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
The bikers enjoyed free refreshments at the Red Lion and Cornish Arms pubs before refuelling with a barbecue at the Gunvenna Holiday Park St Minver.
FLEET is a charity formed by Cornwall’s ambulance staff in 1990.
It has since raised more than £1-million to upgrade ambulances and install new facilities throughout Cornwall.
The installation of defibrillators has made it possible for people suffering from a heart attack to receive life-saving treatment within minutes giving paramedics vital extra time to reach remote locations.
