As part of Dobbies 150th anniversary year celebrations, 300 staff are taking part in a 2000+ mile, staged cycle event to raise money for 21 local and national charities

The tour starts at our store in Edinburgh then heads off, full circle round the UK and back to Dobbies in Lasswade 21 days later

I will be joining our store teams in Preston, Liverpool and Southport to ride each of their 25+ mile legs on 8^th June and on towards the midlands. Cycling isn’t really my thing but a little pain for our charity partners who do great work around the country is the least I can do. I know there are many requests for donations through social media these days but even a few pounds here and there will make a difference.

I’ll even post some pictures of me riding in a truly hideous, corporate, flowery pink and orange cycle top. Actually, maybe if I raise enough money I’ll not post that ;)
