Rural Solutions 2019 Challenge

[p]Every year we like to set ourselves a challenge as a team to come together and raise money for a worthy cause - this includes Tough Mudder, the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the National Three Peaks![/p][p]We have decided that in order to allow for as many colleagues to get involved as possible, we will work as a team to cycle the distance between Lands End and John O’Groats in 24 hours! That is a whopping 1,407km (874 miles).[/p][p]The challenge will begin at midday on 6th September with the aim to finish no later than midday on 7th September, the bikes will be set up at our northern office in Skipton. Although we will be riding the length of the UK on a stationary bike we will be mapping out a route with milestones along the way to spur us on to the next check point![/p][p]Of course, we have chosen a worthy cause to raise money for in the process. [/p][p]This challenge will be in aid of the Country Trust. A brilliant charity that is close to our hearts and we’re sure many of our friends and colleagues will be inspired to support.[/p][p]The Country Trust is a charity focused on bringing food, farming and the countryside alive for disadvantaged children, sharing knowledge, igniting curiosity and broadening horizons.[/p][p]They bring rich experiences and an education about food and farming to the lives of children that may otherwise not have the opportunity. They arrange trips to the countryside, allowing children to visit farms and get up close with animals and enjoy the beautiful British countryside.

[/p][p]This is going to be a really tough one but collectively as a team we are sure we can do it![/p][p]Please pledge your support here.[/p][p][br][/p]
