Atomised: the Web Design Co-operative

All 3 of us here at Atomised have signed up for the Coast & Castles Challenge Ride 2010 - 170 Miles in 3 days cycling from Edinburgh to Newcastle along the beautiful coastline via Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The event is being run by Charity Adventure and we’ll be raising money for Sustrans. Sustrans works on practical projects to encourage people to walk, cycle and use public transport in order to reduce motor traffic and its adverse effects. Sustrans' flagship project is the National Cycle Network, creating over 12,000 miles of routes throughout the UK. We reckon this quote from Sustrans is reason enough to support them, and should help motivate us to get in training (naming no names, but some of us will need it more than others!):

"Over 33% of kids would like to cycle to school, yet only 2% do. We're working hard to change this. Sustrans is the charity behind Safe Routes to Schools and Bike It - schemes working with young people and schools to make cycling and walking to school both safe and fun. We're also building hundreds of Links to Schools from the National Cycle Network, giving kids traffic-free routes and parents peace of mind."

If you’d like to help us support this great cause, donations can be made through the events Just Giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/coastandcastles10 or if you like the sound of this, and are free between the 24th and 26th of July, visit the Charity Adventure website at charityadventure.org.uk and register to join us on the cycle (we’ve been assured the event is suitable for riders of all abilities!).
