Well now, I must tell you of a funny interaction between our local farmer and my wife this week on the back roads of Inkpen village. Loaded up with Mack minor, Mack major and Mack minimus, Mrs M was on the school run in the Deloitte branded family car. To her shock the farmer pulled her over and enquired when the ride started… September she replied…

“Ahhhhhhhh (imagine heavy Devon accent) must be darn tiring for those horses!” Just to be clear our weapon of choice will be bikes and not horses although come to think of it we are looking into new events for Threshold…

City 250 Challenge

And while I’m at it, do join us at Finsbury Avenue Square just outside Liverpool Street Station to test your pedal power against the best in the world on the 8th February. We’ve got Jimmy Cracknell and Rebecca Romero (among others) down there doing a sprint for 250 metres and people can challenge their time to win a place on Deloitte RAB and a brand new Boardman Carbon Pro worth £1,999. It would be great to see some of you down there with your mates and so send out the link below and get stretching – check it out

If any of your friends or family are teetering on signing up, this might be the little spark they need.

Hope to see you there
