Organised by Turning PointThis September, six members of Team Turning Point are challenging themselves to cycle between Turning Points offices in London and Manchester to encourage more people to get physically active, as well as raising funds to deliver vital services.
James Broscombe, Richard Guest, Dave Lewis, Darren Woodward, Johnny Barton and Ian Blann are cycling over Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 September 2019 on a route passing many Turning Point services, including Luton, Milton Keynes, Leicester and Stafford - you can follow our route on Strava.
