Participants will log their cycling online? with spot prizes for individuals and team prizes for the teams that get the most staff cycling.

With plenty of prizes and ‘come and try’ cycle skills sessions at workplaces, there are lots of incentives for everyone to get on their bikes and have some fun.

There will be free support, incentives and assistance to participating organisations. For more information and to register, visit www.southamptoncyclechallenge.org.uk.?

The BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 Cycle Challenge is delivered by CTC Challenge for Change, in partnership with BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 City Council, NHS Solent Healthcare and Sustrans. We want existing cyclists to encourage their non cycling colleagues to get on a bike – and there are free cinema tickets up for grabs for both if they manage to do so!
