Just Beverley editor to cycle coast to coast for charity
Tue 11th August 2015
At the end of August, Just Beverley’s editor, Julian Minshall will be completing a charity cycle race of 140 miles.
Over the bank holiday weekend, Julian will ride the coast to coast route from Whitehaven to Sunderland to raise money for Beverley Community Lift.
Seven cyclists will form the group that completes the ride, all attending to support Julian in his efforts.
On choosing Beverley Community Lift, Julian said: “They do an awful lot for the local area. While I’m still physically capable of riding a bike, I thought I’d help others less able than myself. It’s my way of putting a bit back into the community.
We don’t always appreciate how fortunate we are to be able to get ourselves out and about, both or enjoyment and to take care of ourselves. Just Beverley is all about the community spirit, so it made sense to team up with this local charity and support the work it does.
“Whether it’s £1, £10 or more, all contributions will be gratefully received.”
Julian is completing the ride as a personal challenge with a view to help local causes. He has been training locally in preparation for the ride, which will see the cyclists ride approximately 80 miles on the first day and 60 miles on the second.
