The start of the bike ride blog, here we go......

I'll start with a bit of background and explain the 'Steelcase Bike Ride Challenge'

Seven Steelcase employees and one PR consultant (me) will, in 24 days take on an adventure on two wheels which will cover over 440 miles in five days to raise money for Action for Children. We will cycle from Steelcase's London office to the Steelcase Glasgow office, cycling through two countries, witnessing some spectacular sights and no doubt experiencing some aches and pains.

This is where the eight of us, Neil Hallum, Mark Spragg, Kapilan Palan, Kate Fergus, Nick Mann, Mark Stafford, Zoe Humphries and me, Lucy Sparkes will be uploading photographs and our thoughts prior and during the challenge.

Can we go the distance! ummmmm ...........yeah, of course we can!
