Firstly, we would like to start by thanking all our sponsors for their support, both through generous donations to Cycling Projects, but also in route notes, and words of encouragement, and not forgetting the kindly donated French road maps we could not have done without.

See the thank you email with the cycle trip details sent out to our sponsors after our return!

Laurie Pither was a keen cyclist avid skier, loving husband, father and granddad. This 160 mile cycle is in memory of his passion for cycling and the beautiful French countryside.

Chosen charity - Cycling Projects

Since it was registered as a charity in 1991, the organisation has brought cycling into many people’s lives. The charity has become increasingly involved in cycling related training; bringing cycling to disabled people; encouraging people with poor health to take up cycling and working with excluded communities to help them make cycling part of their lives.

Cycling Projects' vision is to ensure that cycling is accessible to all, through these main three themes:

 

 

 

Wheels for All: working to provide cycling opportunities for everyone to enjoy, including those with disabilities.

 

 

 

Cycling for Life: assisting in the development and improvement of people’s health through cycling.

 

 

 

Bike Links: creating opportunities, schemes and projects for the socially excluded and improving social well-being through cycling.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Please check out www.cycling.org.uk for more info on our chosen charity.
