EXTREME PEDALO 2011
8-10 July
120km
48 hours
2 pedalos
more than half a million pedals...
Moorhouse is entering its sixth annual Charity Challenge. This year we are repeating the successful format of 2010... seeking to power two pedalos down the Thames from Oxfordshire to London in a 48 hour endurance race to raise money for City Gateway, a charity helping disadvantaged young people in London (change for MS Therapy centre). This year we are stepping up the challenge this year by going that bit further; 120km compared to last year’s 100km.
Extreme Pedalo 2011 will pose many challenges, including:
- Pain: pedalos are not designed for speed or comfort. At best it will be tiring, at worst it will be agony...
- Fatigue: the relay event will last for 48 consecutive hours. Team members will be expected to pedal through day and night to complete the challenge - with only limited opportunity of sleep!
- Obstacles: there will be over 30 locks en-route, and at each lock the pedalo will need to be manoeuvred through the lock or carried out of the water.
Our team is fully prepared (sort of) and looking forward to the event on 8th July! For more information on the event, please contact: 2011CharityChallengeTeam@mooorhouseconsulting.com
