88 Miles in the saddle – extra, extra mile result

Hot on the ‘wheels’ of the Routeco Peterborough team who cycled 500 miles through France, Product Sales Specialist Rob Stebbings decided to undertake his own personal challenge and cycle from one Routeco branch in Bristol, to another in Southampton!

The route in total was 88 miles and Rob raised an impressive £285 for Cancer Research UK and £71.25 for charities including the Milton Keynes Foundation.

Rob found cycling through Bristol quite stop-start and looked forward to joining the Bristol to Bath cycle path and being able to continue his route without the distraction of cars. Navigating a few large hills and a diversion the journey was quite straightforward and uneventful.

Rob said: “Once the Brickfield Lane Estate came into view I realised I’d done it and made it! I’ve never been so pleased to see the branch! It was a really great experience.”

Well done to Jonathan Bye, Automation and Software PSS Team Leader, who also cycled from Dartford to Southampton and Chris Coe, Automation & Software Product Sales Specialist, who did the equivalent of Glasgow to Peterlee around East Anglia!
