CPB Charity Bike Ride 2022 · 16 June 2022

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war, persecution or natural disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

Story

The CPB peloton is back after a two-year absence and is more motivated than ever to raise money for two very worthy causes: Green Education Trust and International Rescue Committee

2022's route will see riders tackle some of Italy and Switzerland's most fearsome climbs, starting in Tirano and finishing in Bormio.  The toughest challenge on the third and final day will be provided by the mighty Stelvio Pass, which rises more than 1,800m in 21km (7.1% average gradient) and tops out at 2,757m above sea level. It is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps!

Each day will be a stern test for all as the riders will complete between 50km and 120km in distance and climb between 1,000m and 3,000m in elevation!

Please do support the team's valiant efforts and give generously to support our chosen charities. Thank you!

Greenacres Education TrustThis incredible school in Uganda provides education facilities for 380 children between 4-12 years old, all from diverse backgrounds - reducing the inequality gaps that exist because of education and gender, and providing training for entrepreneurial skills and small business management. Greenacres was founded by an individual from within the CPB family. Link to website: https://www.greenacreseducationtrust.co.uk/about-us.php

International Rescue CommitteeThe Russia-Ukraine conflict is having devastating consequences for Ukraine's civilian population and humanitarian needs are expected to rise.
