Xchanging recently organised a 150km cycle event for the Lloyd’s Insurance market on the roads around the South Downs and West Sussex coast.
The ride, which took place on 25th May, was made up of 75 members from the Lloyd’s Insurance Market who raised £8820. £2120 was raised by Atrium for its charity The National Brain Appeal, the remainder for the Evelina Children’s Hospital in London and the Vinoba Vidyalaya primary school in Shimoga, India.
The team, led by Max Pell of Xchanging, a local Littlehampton resident, tackled the lanes and villages of the South Downs and coast in West Sussex, specifically climbing Duncton Hill and Goodwood before heading south to the iconic East Beach Cafe. The afternoon ride saw the team climb the South Downs following country routes including the water meadows at Coldwaltham before returning to Dial Post.
Max Pell Managing Director UK Insurance Sector at Xchanging commented:
“Covering 150km in one day is no mean feat but the whole team tackled the challenge with great enthusiasm. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and one I’d look forward to doing again. The two charities we are supporting mean a great deal to Xchanging and I thank each member of the team for their tireless fund raising and effort on the day.”
