One of our regular clients wanted to organise a special charity cycle event for them. They wanted to connect their UK offices – Glasgow, Manchester, Newbury, Portsmouth and London over 3 days.
So we designed an event with 20 plus cyclists each day, cycling in small guided groups in a relay style event while sleeping, eating and relaxing on large tour buses (the sort used by pop groups).
Event Outline
Route
Glasgow to Manchester to Newbury to Portsmouth to London.
Pre-event
- Masses of planning, booking and checking out the whole route
- Promotional video calls to boost the sign up for the event
- Pre event information sessions
- Training plans
- Planning of logistics from all participants
- Detailed briefing for everyone taking part
The 4 days
Day 1 – Travel to Glasgow
- All participants travel up to Glasgow on the tour buses
- Overnight on board, dinner at a local pub
Day 2 – Glasgow to Manchester
- Early start first group sets off from central Glasgow
- Roughly every 30 – 40 miles the groups swapped over
- While not cycling the riders were resting and eating
- At the end of the day everyone had beers and food
- New arrivals came and the day 1 cyclists headed off
Day 3 – Manchester to Newbury
- A repeat of Day 1
Day 4 – Newbury to Portsmouth to London
- A repeat of Day 2
- Finish at The Gherkin in the City of London.
