Ride for Freedom 2024

The indefatigable Gordon Miller is planning another epic ride and he wants YOU, especially (but not exclusively) if you might be a sponsor...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This is a five day ride covering the length of Wales, from Cardiff to Holyhead, 254 miles in total. As ever, Gordon is riding under the Ride For Freedom banner, raising awareness about modern slavery. But this outing offers a couple of fresh aspects.

"I'm very excited for this one," Gordon told Velocity. "It's the first time we’ve brought together the increasingly pressing issue of how climate change is creating conditions for modern slavery to be perpetrated. And it’s the first time we've partnered to put on a ride with another high profile cyclist: environmentalist Kate Strong, who holds a couple of cycling world records."

Gordon is seeking sponsors for the event (see slides, above) and riders to accompnay him on all or part of the journey. Email him for info here

Chasing the Sun premieres

Velocity took a trip to the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton last night to take in "Chasing the Sun", a new documentary film exploring not just the annual challenge of riding 200 miles, coast to coast, but also some of the side stories of those involved, exemplifying the sheer joy – and sometimes therapy – that cycling can bring.
