A multi-day ride from south to north covering over 900 miles, the Super Six Challenge is a monumental undertaking for cyclists of all abilities. Varied terrain, unpredictable weather conditions and tired bodies after long hours in the saddle are likely to test even the most tight-knit group of colleagues. Departing from Land’s End every day throughout May 2021, each team of 6 must ride 10 stages to reach John O’Groats. With multiple timed segments and a daily timed climb, teams can compete for prizes, which will be awarded at the end of the month.
Bikecation co-founder, author and TV personality, Rob Penn – who has years of experience guiding cyclists around the world, including leading Freddie Flintoff through the Amazon – will join teams on a particular stage of the Super Six Challenge.
Taking place over 10 days and 11 nights, each team will have a Bikecation support vehicle to carry luggage, provide drinks and nutrition, lunch and mechanical assistance each day.
As working from home becomes the norm, it is more relevant than ever to spend valuable time with colleagues, meeting face to face, creating and fostering key relationships. Team experiences are an opportunity to share a common goal; form bonds with colleagues outside the work environment; build team morale and engagement; and provide the incentive for individuals to keep fit and healthy, which can be important for mental health and well-being.
The Super Six Challenge aims to set teams a goal to achieve together, while also raising money for their chosen charity. Charities have been particularly hard hit during the Covid-19 pandemic and are in great need of renewed support, awareness-building and fundraising.
