University joins cycle challenge

The University has signed up to compete in the Edinburgh Cycle Challenge from 10 to 30 May.

The Challenge is a free workplace-based initiative that encourages organisations across the city to get involved in cycling.

The Challenge’s aim is for staff to get as many colleagues as possible to ride a bike for 10 minutes or more over the three-week period.

Participants can ride wherever and whenever they feel comfortable.

A host of activities

A range of activities will be staged to encourage colleagues to get on their bikes, including cycle training and maintenance classes.

Numerous prizes are on offer, including cycling gear packs and a corporate Glentress Experience mountain biking day.
