🚲🎗️ 420 miles later and we’re (eventually!) home😁🎗️🚲

Thank you to everyone for their support ❤️ we massively appreciate everyone that has sponsored members for their efforts! If you want to sponsor a member, there is still time!

A special shout out to our guests that joined us on the day helping cover the miles!

We’re all tired after the cycle, perhaps time to modernise to electric bikes ⚡️🚲👀

Have a great weekend all!

🚴‍♂️ CYCLE UPDATE! 🚴‍♀️

​We are well into England now and making fantastic progress! 🛣️✨

​With a little under 140 miles to go, the momentum is high and we're officially in home-stretch territory. There's nothing quite like knowing Bonnie Scotland is just around the corner to keep the pedals turning! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪

​Huge thank you to everyone following along, sending messages, and cheering us on—it really keeps the legs moving. Almost home!

🚴‍♂️ WE ARE LIVE! 🚴‍♀️

The pedals are turning at the East lothian Co-operative bowling & social club, Tranent.

Pop down, give the team a cheer, and help us rack up the miles for a great cause.

Every bit of noise helps! 🙌

🚨 36 HOURS TO GO! 🚨

​The countdown is officially ON! In just over 36 hours, the Tranent Belters are jumping into the saddle to launch our epic sponsored indoor cycle challenge! 🚴‍♂️💨⚡️

​We are taking on a massive test of endurance: pedaling every single mile of the return leg from Gilfach Goch in South Wales all the way back home to Tranent on stationary bikes. That’s hundreds of miles of continuous pedaling, teamwork, and sheer willpower for our local community! 🚴‍♀️🔥

​WANT TO HELP US CROSS THE FINISH LINE?
You don't just have to watch from the sidelines—we’d love to have you join in! Everyone is welcome to come along and cover a few miles on the bike for us. Whether you want to spin for 5 minutes or 5 miles, every single pedal stroke brings us closer to home and gives our legs a well-needed rest! 🦵💨

​HOW TO SUPPORT & DONATE:

​🤝 DONATE: If you’d like to make a donation to support the cause, please get in touch directly with the club or reach out to any Belters member.
​📣 CHEER US ON: Drop your messages of support in the comments below—we’ll need every bit of motivation when the fatigue sets in!
​🔁 SHARE THIS POST: Hit that share button and help us spread the word across East Lothian!

​The clock is ticking down fast. Just over 36 hours until the first pedal stroke—come down, hop on a bike for a bit, or get in touch with a member to donate. Let’s show what this community can do together! 💥💪

🚨🚴‍♂️ HOW FAR CAN YOU PEDAL FOR A GOOD CAUSE? 🚴‍♀️🚨

Next Saturday, the members of Tranent Belters Social & Charity Club will be taking on a unique fundraising challenge at East Lothian Co-operative Employees Bowling Club.

Our mission?
We reached Gilfach Gich last year to visit our sister club, Gilfach Goch Bowler Hats last year—now it's time for the return leg back to Tranent! 🚴‍♀️
The goal: conquer every mile right here inside the building! 💪🔥

Using nothing but determination, teamwork and a row of exercise bikes, our riders will attempt to clock up hundreds of miles in support of the charities and good causes that the Belters proudly support throughout the year.

🚴 No downhill sections
🚴 No coasting
🚴 No shortcuts
🚴 Just pedal after pedal after pedal!

This challenge will test stamina, determination and maybe even a few sore backsides along the way... but it's all for a fantastic cause.

We'd love to see as many people as possible come along, cheer on the cyclists and show your support throughout the day. Whether you're making a donation, dropping in for a chat, or simply sharing this post, you'll be helping us make a difference.

❤️ Every mile matters.
❤️ Every donation helps.
❤️ Every share spreads the word.

Can our riders make it from Gilfach Goch to Tranent before the pedals stop turning? There's only one way to find out!
Please give this post a like, share and tag a friend who you'd love to see taking on the challenge. 👇

🛒Yesterday the Tranent Belters were in with four trollies full of donations! The Belters topped us up with items we were incredibly low on and some we haven’t even had for weeks!

💚As they we’re in we admired their lovely shirts embroidered with the Belter’s crest that reads an inspiring Scots phrase ‘Lie Forrit’ (‘Lie Forward’ in English). Essentially encouraging moving forward. Through diversity an admirable message to remind us all to keep going through tough times.

🫶Thank you Belters for pouring ongoing support into our work here at the Foodbank and helping us ‘lie forrit’.

The Belters have had the pleasure of providing support by the trolley loads! 🛒😁🛒😁

On Tuesday this week, Walter, Timmy, Andrie and Jock delivered supplies the food bank were running low of. We hope the food goes a long way in helping people in the community. 🥔🌽🥕🫑🥖🍓🍐🍊🍎

A massive thank you to the Blythe family for their generous donation ❤️.

On the 22nd of August the Belters entered two teams to the Simon Blythe Memorial fours. This was the 10yr anniversary of the event and Simon Blythe. The donation has been made from funds raised on the day 👍.

Thank you again to the Blythe family and the Tranent Bowling Club for running the event. We had a fantastic day 🙌😃.
