    Story

    On the June 23rd to 24th June 5 cyclists from the National Highways took on a challenge of cycling 250 miles, the length of the National Highways Southwest Region, from Penzance to Tewkesbury in 24 hours. The purpose of this challenge is to raise funds for two worthy causes, Lighthouse Club & Samaritans. The two chosen charities have a particular relationship with our industry and our highways community and have been chosen for that reason.

    The funds raised by the cycle will be split between the two charities

    If we meet our target this would enable the Samaritans to recruit and train 25 new volunteers helping us support more people struggling to cope this year and would further assist the Lighthouse Club in providing education and training initiatives, fund ideas to improve health or safety in the work environment, and provide services like the 24-hour Construction Industry Helpline.

      At the start of the ride we had 25 climbs in total for the route…and 22 of those were before we’d get to Exeter! Just as we approached Exeter, the sun started to breakthrough and the bird calls started, morale really started to lift. We finished in Tewkesbury just over 24 hours after we’d started, riding for about 17.5 hours, travelling 252.49 miles and climbing just under 16,000 feet. A massive thank you to all those who helped support this monumental achievement and to those who got up at a ridiculous hour to offer encouragement.

    The team from National Highways included Terry Robinson, Mike Webster, James Richards, Ian Cole and Jack Mason. It was a mammoth physical and mental effort to cycle 250 miles in 24 hours
