Story
We may have hung up our hockey sticks a few years ago, but keeping active and making sure our team spirit never dies has always kept Morgarows St Ives Hockey Team together, doing fun challenges and embarking on new adventures.
During lockdown, we have decided to come together as a virtual team, keeping up our daily exercise while also helping others.
We all love our 🚲 bikes, some more than others, and although we can’t cycle together at the moment, we wondered how far we could reach - virtually, of course - if we added each of the distances we cycled every day for a month.
Could we reach the North Pole?
A whopping 2750 miles!
So, the challenge was set! On May the 4th the team of 12 started clocking the miles, tracking the distance reached on a virtual map.
With everyone at completely different riding levels, it’s really going to take a complete team effort if we’re going to get to our (virtual) destination!
We’ve chosen two local charities to help & support- Growing Links & St Ives Community Fund.
COVID – 19 has affected many, but these charities are still doing amazing things in these difficult times.
Please join us in our challenge and follow how far we reach via our JustGiving and Facebook pages.
Our target 🎯 is £2750, the number of miles to the North Pole.
Please give what you can.

4 years agoDay 5 Friday - Bank holiday A showery forecast ahead with sunny spells in the afternoon gave us hope for a few more miles today. We have a team made up of essential workers & those that have been furloughed. We hoped the bank holiday would mean lots of people on their bikes today. Once again the team spirt & sense of not letting the charities down, inspired everyone to get out on their bikes. Rides were being posted and miles were being added. By the end of the day we were up at the beginning of the Yorkshire Dales 😄
