CitySprint's Warwick ServiceCentre to undertake 'CitySprint' cycle challenge in aid of Comic Relief

This week, the team at CitySprint's Warwick ServiceCentre will be undertaking a 'CitySprint' cycle challenge in aid of Comic Relief.

Between Monday 14th March and Friday 18th March, eleven team members from CitySprint's Warwick ServiceCentre, ranging from nineteen years old to mid-forties, will between them cycle 1523 miles - which is the equivalent of the distance between each of CitySprint's 31 ServiceCentres across the UK.

Tracey Simpson, CitySprint's Warwick ServiceCentre Manager who thought of the idea explains, "We have been discussing ways to raise money for Comic Relief for some time and this seemed like the perfect challenge for us to sink our teeth into and have fun at the same time!

Over the course of the week each of us will take it in turns to cycle on an exercise bike for an hour at a time, with our red noses on, until we have covered the required distance - this equates to just over 138 miles each and is quite a challenge but one we are determined to complete in order to raise money for Comic Relief".

The team aim to raise £2500 for Comic Relief and have so far received donations from family, friends, clients and suppliers. CitySprint is whole-heartedly supporting this initiative and has also sponsored the team.

CitySprint, the UK's largest SameDay distribution network, has the largest pushbike fleet in London, with over 70 bikes covering Central London, which makes this challenge all the more appropriate!
