Story
Epiphany is embarking on an epic team challenge; cycling the full distance of Le Tour de France to raise money for Jane's Appeal.
140 of us are donning the Lycra, getting into fancy dress and smashing through the miles in the 15 working days of Le Tour, on two exercise bikes at Leeds head office, The Small Mill.
Ten brave team leaders are leading the charge and competing for the coveted yellow, polka dot and green jerseys which reward the team that rides the furthest, the team that spends the longest on the bike and the team with the highest average speed. There is also an individual prize, the orange jersey which will be awarded to the most stylish rider at our Le Tour awards party at Oracle in Leeds.
We're also pleased to be welcoming guest riders from The Drum magazine, Jane's Appeal and other businesses, taking the number of riders to over 150 across the 15 day event.

We've been a proud supporter of Janes Appeal for a number of years. Jane was 36 when, in August 2000, she and her family received the devastating news she had terminal breast cancer. Over the next seven years she captured the attention of the world through her achievements as she outlived her initial six month prognosis. With seemingly endless reserves of determination and courage she completed incredible challenges to raise money to help others through Jane Tomlinson Appeal.
Leeds hosts Le Grand Depart of Le Tour on Saturday 5th July.
