Join Us for the Tour d'Aldi: A Charity Cycling Adventure
1200 miles, 14 locations, 10 days.
I am excited to announce the Tour d'Aldi, a cycling challenge that will take me on the (slightly) longer route from the Aldi UK Head Office in Atherstone to the National IT office in Tamworth, with a quick stop at each and every one of our UK Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs) along the way.
Proudly sponsored by Watersmiths Business Services. Watersmiths Business Services provide part time and interim Finance Director services, consultancy and finance team coaching to UK businesses.
For those who may not know, I work in the National IT department of the UK's favourite supermarket, and the generosity of our team has made this event possible. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to embark on this journey and raise funds for the inspiring Teenage Cancer Trust.
Throughout my ride, I’ll be tracking my progress on Strava, so you can join in on the fun and follow along with my progress.
Here’s my planned itinerary for visiting each RDC:
1. Atherstone - Wednesday 4th June 2025

At each RDC, I'll make quick stops to take photos with the Aldi sign, refuel, and recharge before setting off to the next destination. Every mile will be a step towards raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause!
I invite you to be part of this unforgettable journey! Your support means the world to me and can create a ripple effect of positive change in the lives of young people battling cancer.
Let’s make this adventure one for the books!
