A LONG bike ride can put you to sleep as quickly as a good anaesthetist, so you can bet Barnsley Hospital's anaesthetic team slept like babies after completing a sponsored virtual cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats.
And they were entitled to have some sweet dreams too - they raised more than £1,700 for the Hospital's Charity.
Lead by consultant anaesthetist Cris Swinhoe, the team started at 6am on Monday September 12 and finished five days later on the Friday at 1.15pm.
The sporting team peddled an amazing 1,009 miles in a bid to raise funds for the hospital's anaesthetic department.
Other fundraising activities included a tombola, a pop-up shop and a 'name the bear' competition.
Cris said: "The anaesthetic department undertook the ride because they wanted to make a contribution to the cost of new monitoring equipment."We enjoyed the cycle very much, because of the challenge, but also because it was a great team building exercise.
"Those who took part and those who supported us deserve great praise for their commitment to Barnsley Hospital."
