I've been called up at the last minute to ride Ziggurat this year. The reality is, I've only ridden my bike three times since completing Chase The Sun in June. To be honest, Chase The Sun left me questioning my relationship with cycling!

Nevertheless, in true Kimberley style, I'm turning up underprepared and ready to suffer for a good cause. The pain will be temporary, but helping raise money for Action Medical Research makes every pedal stroke worthwhile.

Ziggurat - the annual adventure for folk from the constructions and built environment sector who share a passion for cycling and may not be averse to doing a bit of networking from the saddle. 2026 will mark a special 10-year anniversary of this great event and we are celebrating by offering the most incredible ride to date. Travelling from the Basque region of Spain through hills and valleys to the bustling capital of Madrid the route provides a stunning and challenging ride.

Action Medical Research are the leading UK charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people. Action have been funding medical breakthroughs for 70 years now and have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy. They are now driving forward children's research, including in the fight against premature birth and rare diseases.

Our 10th Annual cycling networking tour Ziggurat will see around 70 riders cycle from Bilbao to Madrid on a fully supported 4 day ride for the construction industry.

By donating money for this incredible charity, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases. With your help we're determined to make a real change to children's lives.
