Charity cyclists go sky high on Brighton i360 with Olympian

Olympic Gold Medallist Daley Thompson CBE joined cyclists and business sponsors last month to create awareness for the upcoming Bristol to Brighton Bike Ride in aid of the Starr Trust Charity.

The launch was to create awareness of the upcoming  cycling challenge  and to welcome the local community to sign up and be part of this four-day Bristol to Brighton Bike Ride, taking place between 8th-11th June 2023. Registration is open now to cyclists of all abilities who will take on the task of cycling approximately 220miles, split across three overnight hotel stays, with an option of including a lap of the Isle of Wight on the way home!

Friend of the Starr Trust and founder of DaleyFitness, Daley Thompson CBE said: “Never has it been more important to stay fit and healthy!

“I always believe exercise should be accessible for all, and the Starr Trust bike ride challenge offers just that with its three-tiered cycling groups to cater for all levels.

“If you are looking for a way to get fit and have fun this year with a fantastic bunch of people, then I urge you to get involved and do yourself proud.”

Sussex-based charity, the Starr Trust removes roadblocks for young people by supporting individuals and groups with financial grants, sharing connections

and encouraging success. Awards are granted to young people aged 10-25 years to help them succeed and thrive in whatever they put their minds to.

All fundraising through the challenge will go directly to support young people in need of help from the charity.

Businesses kindly sponsoring the bike ride include; The Dental Implant Centre, Gardner & Scardifield, Rubix VT and Brighton i360.
