Obernai to Sheffield · 27 May 2010

At Bluebell Wood, we care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions. We support hundreds of families, both in our hospice and in family homes. It costs around £6.7m to keep our doors open for families across South Yorkshire and beyond. We receive 17% Statutory funding.

Story

Four Gripple and Loadhog Staff members are riding from our European headquarters in Obernai (France) via Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland to Sheffield

This 680 mile journey (we’re going the long way round!) will take place from 27th May 2010 and arriving in Sheffield on 4th June 2010. We estimate that this will involve in excess of 500,000 wheel revolutions and 70,000 calories for each team member.

As part of our Tour de Gripple on Friday 4th June the Tour team will be joined on the final 65 mile leg from Hull to Sheffield by four of the Directors and many of our staff.
