RIDE SIDE BY SIDE 2012

Ride Side by Side
Engineered by Quest 88, Ride Side By Side is an ambitious cycle ride from John O'Groat’s to Lands End. Spread across 12 days with an average of 80 miles being covered per day and it is hoped it will ultimately raise £1,000,000 which will be split between two amazing charities - Help for Heroes and Caudwell Children.

Wanting to go one step further than previously achieved, there is a fantastic twist to this cycle challenge. Quest 88 manufacturers and distributes a range of tricycles for people with varying levels of disability and three of the four tandems will be ridden by a Quest 88 employee - David Vernon-Henshaw (Joint Managing Director), Mark Leary (Technical Services Engineer) and Tony Smart (Design Engineer).

David, Mark and Tony will be accompanied by representatives from the three armed forces that have been injured while serving their country along with friends and staff from Caudwell Children.

"Whether you are a three year old child starting out in life or an ex-serviceman adapting to a new way of life, cycling is one of the most inspiring and liberating outdoor activities available."
