Matt's Zwift 300 Challenge · 30 June 2018

Male Cancer Awareness Campaign is an award winning innovative small charity. We produce award winning life saving awareness campaigns by inspiring hugely talented volunteers to support each project. Help us raise awareness and reduce embarrassment of male cancers. Help us save more lives.

Story

On Saturday 30th June, local amateur cyclist, Matt Looker will be taking on the HUGE challenge of riding 300 miles in just one ride, in one day, in the virtual world of Zwift at Cycle 360. 


Why?



All to raise money for the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign, a charity dedicated to raising awareness and reducing the embarrassment of cancer, because they believe that awareness is the key in the fight against the disease. 



How can YOU help?!



Matt will be near the entrance to Cycle 360 all day on Saturday and we will be trying our best to keep his spirits high as well as trying to raise as much money as possible for Male Cancer. 



There's even a chance to take part in the virtual world of Zwift! We'll be placing two Cycle 360 wattbikes next to Matt, so anyone and everyone can join in and ride along with him at any point in the day.



The Cycle 360 cafe and bikeshop will be open as usual from 9:00am - 5:00pm but anyone supporting Matt will be welcome to come iin earlier and leave later!

ALL ABOUT ZWIFT



Well, over the past year, Zwift has taken indoor training by storm. Zwift pairs your bike with indoor training gear to create a smooth and realistic ride.



Fundamentally, the platform adds a layer of interactivity that can help alleviate that boredom when riding on a turbo trainer. All you need is you, your bike, a turbo trainer and the app with a decent screen. Zwift then translates your efforts on the turbo trainer into a virtual world, complete with maps, roads, landscapes and full of other riders to interact with. You can also follow dedicated training programmes.
