A brave team of ROVOP cyclists will be joining Mark Beaumont for a major cross-Scotland challenge in aid of the STV Children's Appeal on Saturday 22nd September.

Andrew Angus, Sean Hunter, Steven Gray and Thomas Logan have
formed a relay team and will be embarking on a gruelling 240 miles between them –  the same distance Mark averaged daily during his epic cycle round the world in 80 days last year.

The coast-to-coast cycle will set off at Tayinloan in Argyll, continue through Loch Lomond National Park and the Caingorms, over Glenshee and head for a warm welcome at the finish line in Aberdeen.  Together, the team of 80 cyclists will pedal the equivalent of going ‘around the world in a day’.

STV will be filming the challenge and all proceeds will go to the STV Children’s Appeal. The money raised is distributed to provide practical help like food and warm clothes, create opportunities for training and employability, and enable social and emotional support for those who need it most.
