Story
I'm cycling, with 75 fellow riders, the Jo Cox Way this week - 288 miles and 13,000ft of ascent, from Jo's constituency of Bately and Spen in West Yorkshire to London SE1. Join us on Sunday at 1.30pm at Flat Iron Square, SE1, as we complete our Tour de England!
In her maiden speech in parliament Jo Cox MP spoke about having far more in common than that which divides us and The Jo Cox Way bike ride is a wonderful example of the More in Common ethos.By bringing together people from all backgrounds through a shared love of cycling and the goal of completing the challenging 5 day ride the sense of togetherness is palpable. Past participants have reflected on the sense of community the bike ride creates and many friendships have been formed since its inception.It is something Jo herself would have loved and it is a fitting and important part of her powerful legacy.
