Job Done but we're still some way from our target, but just take a look at what we achieved:

Day One: Derby to Warwick

Total Mileage Achieved: 71 miles

Visits: iPro Stadium & Ricoh Arena

Highlight: Finally reaching the hotel after a pitch black challenging uphill
road climb.

Biggest Challenge: Realising we were at the wrong hotel!


Day Two: Warwick to Reading

Total Mileage Achieved: 140

Visits: Kassam Stadium & Madjeski Stadium

Highlight: Sitting down to an all you can eat carvery celebrating our technician,
support driver, first aider, spirit lifter, chief mechanic and all round
outstanding individual David Bradleys 70^th birthday knowing that
tomorrow was our final day.

Biggest Challenge: Either the 850ft climb that came out of nowhere and just didn’t
seem to have a slope down the other side, or the cycle path that disappeared into
stinging nettles and having no choice but peddle straight through and wish we
weren’t wearing cycling shorts.


Day Three: Reading to Pompey

Total Mileage Achieved: 203

Visits: Fratton Park

Highlight: Climbing Portsdown Hill knowing we were just miles from seeing the
city, and minutes from biking some flat terrain again.

Biggest Challenge: Waking up before 5am convincing ourselves we were fit and
well rested enough to take on the final stage.

Who are we?

All staff from Pompey in the Community, all looking to support are fantastic disability & community cycling scheme.

Why are we doing this?
Pompey in the Community run a  disability & cycling community programme, Wheels for All has this year allowed over 200 people with multiple needs and disabilities get active, get fit and experience the thrill of cycling.

We have over 70 different bikes that are used on five days of the week, with hand cycles, tandems and specially adapted disability bikes ensuring that no matter what, there are no barriers for any get on a bike.

But we need your help?
We've reached capacity, and we no longer have enough Wheelchair carrier bikes for the amount of wheelchair users who now use Wheels for All. We know this isn't fair and we want to giver everyone the opportunity get on a bike no matter.

So..........
We've taken the ridiculous decision to cycle a wheelchair carrier from Derby to Pompey. Cycling 195 miles, on a bike that weighs more three times your average bike visiting, a few of our football league friends along the way, before making it back to Fratton Park to watch Pompey beat Milton Keynes.

In doing so we want to raise £6,000 to buy two new Wheelchair Carrier's, and to do this, we need your help.

Thank you so much.

Play Up Pompey!
