The Thistle to Clover Bike Challenge is a 223 mile 3 day cycle from Edinburgh to Dublin from 6th to 8th May 2010. Westcrowns Group Chief Executive – Fraser Haran – plus 8 hardy souls are aiming to raise £20,000 for the Prince & Princess Hospice by completing this challenging event.

Fraser confirmed, “We leave Edinburgh early on the 6th for a leisurely 82 mile cycle to Troon (I’ve been told it’s all downhill) where we will catch the ferry to Larne. (I’m not sure whether we have to keep pedalling when we’re on the ferry?). The 2nd day is a short 68 mile hop to Newry, allowing us to prepare mentally & physically for the 3rd day 73 mile dash into Dublin, whereupon the real hard work begins!!” Fraser also said, “The guys have been training for 6 months now to prepare for the challenge, so we are taking it seriously, but the most important thing is that we’ve nearly hit our £20k target, which is fantastic news for the charity.”
