Running Out of Time

We had a busy penultimate day cycling all across Greater London, visiting 7 schools in a day & they all put on wonderful welcomes 🙌🏼🥰

All smiles today as the baton made it to Bradford upon Avon! 😁 Feeling inspired by the eco council at Christ Church coe school and the amazing outfits on display at Bradfords reduce and reuse fashion event! Thanks to all the runners including who stayed with the baton all the way till Trowbridge 🏃

The crew had a jam-packed morning visiting 3 schools in the lovely green city of Hereford 🌳 Lord Scudamore Academy, Riverside & Madley Primary 🧑🏽‍🏫 … they all provided amazing welcome receptions to the crew & runners of the day 🙌🏼 It was great to see how eco-minded the schools are, with forest gardens, eco-councils, solar panels, even their own 🐝 at Madley! 👏🏼

Lorea from rode the baton along the canal, adding another means of human-powered travel for the baton 🙌🏼
Active Herefordshire & Worcestershire are a charity who aim to get people of all ages & abilities leading more active lifestyles.. 🚴🏼‍♀️🚶‍♂️ The power of physical activity on health can’t be underestimated! 💊

Dani & Rob from Bike Worcester woke up at the crack of dawn to begin their 160km cycle from Reading to Worcester! 👏🏼 & they did it all whilst creating their very own one-take podcast! (Yet to be named)
They are part of an advocacy group striving to make cycling a preferred method of transportation 🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️& increasing the accessibility to bikes by passing on donated bikes either free or low cost to the community 🙌🏼 Another of the groups initiatives is holding daily bike-bus schemes where school kids are chaperoned to school in a giant cycling convoy 😌 Fantastic idea! 🥳
