With Covid-19 having a catastrophic affect on society and the cancellation of fundraising events across the world hitting charities hard, we wanted to do our bit to help. One effect of the pandemic will be on the mental health and well-being of many people, so, inspired by Geraint Thomas’ recent marathon garage ride, Team Lardy have decided to join the “2.6 Challenge” launched by London Marathon.

We will be cycling, in a relay, on our turbo trainers for 26.2 hours without a break. Using the wonders of technology, this is now a global challenge with team mates in Dallas, U.S and Sydney, Australia.

Our aim is to raise awareness and money for MIND, mental health charity, who do an incredible job and one that will only be made more difficult in the coming months.

The Lardy 2.6 Team Members are:

Owen Hughes, Charlie Hughes, James Arnold, Andy Perry, Pete Kohn, Denton Capp, Ricky Castoldi (Dallas, USA), Stuart Monksfield (Sydney, Australia)
