A TWYFORD-BASED cycling club is going for glory this weekend as it looks to cycle the length of the country in 24 hours.
Bia Cycling Hub, based on Waltham Road, will come together as a collective to take on the virtual challenge on Saturday, January 27.
Lee Goodwin, the founder of the Velolife cafe and workshop, was going to take on the challenge solo, but is now unable to do so, so the Bia collective is hoping to still achieve the target.
The aim is to cover the distance, indoors, in 24 hours by riding relay hours on two KICKR bikes at the hub until they reach the 1,913km target, all while raising as much money as possible for charity.
The group will be riding on “real roads” on the virtual cycling platform Wahoo RGT, which is part of the Wahoo X subscription.
Residents who would like to join in can get involved by downloading the team’s app and selecting from the one hour slots available.
Those without access to a bike can support the group’s efforts, online or in person at the hub, by donating to the charities they are supporting which are MIND, Women In Sport and Qhubeka.
