Cycle September 2024
14/10/24
Last month, AWP took part in Love to Ride's Cycle September challenge. For the second year running, we are pleased to have finished 3rd in the UK Consultancy leaderboard for similar sized businesses!
At AWP we find this is a brilliant initiative to encourage colleagues to cycle, whether it is for commuting to work or just for fun. It is a great opportunity to showcase the benefits of cycling, with some team members getting on the bike for the first time in a few years.
This year we organised two activities during Cycle September. One was a social ride down to Turf Locks and back after work, along the River Exe cycle path. We also went mountain biking in Wales on our team building weekend away, where we rode along the Taff Trail next to the Talybont Reservoir. This turned out to be quite a bumpy ride but provided some stunning views!
We had a great turnout again with 145 rides being logged and 546 miles cycled in total over the month, leading to 279 lb of CO2 being saved. As well as the positive environmental impact, cycling also has great physical and mental health benefits that we are proud to promote. We are very much looking forward to taking part again next year!
