Cycle Challenge
London to Paris Cycle Challenge
Congratulations are in order as 10 determined individuals from Pinnacle successfully completed the 328 mile London to Paris bike challenge in aid of charity “Action Medical Research”.
The team endured a gruelling four day route through picturesque villages and medieval market towns in Northern France featuring tough terrain and strenuous hill climbs. Efforts were paid off by riding down the Champs-Elyéses to the finish line, the day before the Tour de France, for a well deserved glass of champagne! The team raised a staggering £22,631.20 for the charity.
Pinnacle Director, Gordon Knott said: "The ride was extremely tough and we were not helped by the weather at some points but the team showed a great deal of determination to make sure that we all finished the ride and we were certainly spurred on by the thought of all the good work that AMR will do with the sponsorship that was kindly donated."
Action Medical Research Events Manager, Oly Watts states: “It was amazing to see 500 of our cyclists crossing the Arc de Triomphe after four days of hard cycling. We all arrived in Paris the day before the Tour de France and had a police escort as we arrived at the Eiffel Tower. With the help of the team from Pinnacle Consulting Engineers we are hoping the event will raise around £800,000.”
