IPS Cyclists go Coast-to-Coast
At the end of May, nine of our team headed west to Whitehaven in Cumbria to start the 150 mile cycle ride back to Sunderland.
150 miles of flat cycling in three days would be enough to finish most people off, but along the way the route throws up some interesting challenges, starting with Whinlatter pass (1043 feet) and closely followed by Hartside Pass (1900 feet) then Black Hill (2000 feet). Exhausting.
This year the team supported WaterAid, who provide relief to some of the world’s poorest people. The total amount raised will be known in the next couple of weeks. The weekend was thoroughly enjoyed by all, although extra seat cushions were needed for their return to work.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us and here’s to next year's Coast 2 Coast challenge. |
