Daniel Sparks,
Parts Advisor at Howards Citroen and Honda in Taunton, together with his two friends Tom and Nick, will
be taking on a strenuous bike ride in June. Cycling from John o’ Groats in
Scotland through to Northern Ireland and Ireland, they will then travel then
across to Wales before finally making the long cycling journey down to
Lands-End at the tip of the Cornish coast.
The overall trip
will cover a distance of 1,000 miles and a total elevation which extends over
the height of Mount Everest. They aim to complete this challenge over the
course of 17 days of cycling, with a couple of days rest in-between.
Daniel Sparks
commented, “This ride would not be possible without the help of companies like
Howards Citroen who have generously supplied us with one of their vehicles to
get us up to the top to start the ride, Howards Honda who have donated a full
tank of fuel. And also the bicycle chain Bridgwater for offing us discount on
all the necessary gear for the ride.”
Daniel and his
friends are attempting this challenge to aid and raise as much money as they
can for local charities St
Margret’s Somerset Hospice and Children’s
Hospice South West. Both charities have
been helping the people of the local community for many years and rely on public
support to be able to continue their good work.
