Workers set to cycle the length of the country in End to End challenge

Posted on by

Workers from a building maintenance firm are parking up their vans and getting on two wheels to help three local charities.

Employees from Kier Sheffield, based on Manor Lane, are holding a follow-up event to a ride from Sheffield to Cleethorpes in 2009 and a sponsored coast-to-coast bike ride last year.

This time they are cycling almost 1,000 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End.

Hightown’s Les Holmes to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats – and back again – on an old postman’s bike

Posted on by

HIGHTOWN fund-raiser Les Holmes is in training for a 2,000-mile charity challenge to raise money for Zoë’s Place Baby Hospice.

Les, who is celebrating his 70th birthday this year, has undertaken 30 years of fund-raising for various charities including Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.

In July he will be taking a 28-day trip pedalling from Land’s End to John O’Groats – and then back again – on an old postman’s bike with just three gears.
