Story

🚴‍♂️ Coast to Coast & Chase the Sun – Riding for Our Community

This year, we’re taking on two of the toughest cycling challenges out there – Coast to Coast (C2C) and the legendary Chase the Sun – pushing ourselves over mountains, across counties, and from sunrise to sunset.

But this isn’t just about miles on a bike.

It’s about making a difference where it matters most – in our community.

We’re riding in support of Arbroath Community Trust, an organisation at the heart of our town, delivering real impact through:

⚽ Football pathways and opportunities for all

☕ Community café tackling isolation and food poverty

💻 Digital inclusion projects supporting those left behind

❤️ Health and wellbeing initiatives for people of all ages

Every mile we ride represents the people the Trust supports every single day.

🤝 Meet the Team

This challenge is being taken on by a group of committed riders who share a passion for both cycling and community:

Roddy Adam

Jason Byles

Bruce Hutton

Adam Norvel

Steve Paterson

Together, we’ll face long climbs, tough miles, and the mental battle that comes with endurance cycling – all driven by a shared goal of giving back.

🌅 Why We Ride

From the first turn of the wheel at sunrise to the final push at sunset, this journey will test us physically and mentally.

But we know that what we’re doing matters.

We’re riding for:

Young people who need opportunity

Families who need support

Individuals who need connection

A community that thrives when people come together
