On 20 June 2010 a number of the team took the plunge into cycling to raise money for charity, the Nightingale Hospice, a charity that supports those affected by cancer in the London Borough of Enfield.
For some people an 18 mile cycle ride may seem simple, but the hillier parts of north Enfield certainly proved a challenge for the newcomers to cycling – for example our company secretary (Indira) had not cycled for over 20 years and found the ride quite a challenge, however to her credit she completed the cycle ride and kept up with the pack.
The cycle ride route covered much of the Enfield Borough from the North Circular, to the A10 (Great Cambridge Road) through to Clay hill in the North (toward the M25). At times a very scenic route and a very enjoyable way of raising money for charity. Our MD (Gordon) was so taken by the event he has now signed up for another fundraising event, this time a half marathon in October 2010, which is fine for him as long as he doesn’t expect the whole team at Credit Check Services to join him on the run
We will let you know how he gets on later in the year.
