Lodders lawyers cycle 70 miles for rural charity
Lawyers from the Stratford upon Avon office of law firm Lodders took to the saddle to cycle 70-miles in support of rural charity Countryside Learning.
The firm’s Michael Wakeling, Alastair Frew and James Spreckley joined Rob Honan of Warwickshire’s Alscot Estate to cycle a gruelling route that was just one-leg of a five-day fundraising initiative by Savills aiming to raise £100,000 for the charity.
Reaching an average speed of 15mph, the pedalling foursome completed the 70-mile route in just over 4 ½ hours.
Partner in Lodders’ dispute resolution team Michael Wakeling was crowned the day’s ‘King of the Mountains’, real estate partner Alastair Frew was awarded the green jersey for his sprinting prowess, whilst partner in the firm’s agricultural team James Spreckley barely broke sweat all day. Rob Honan from Savills kept having to slow down, so he took the day’s yellow jersey!
The fundraising event and group’s ride on Tuesday 15th September was organised by property agents Savills UK. The cycle challenge aims to cover 5,000 miles in and around different UK geographical locations during the course of the working week via non-motorised means.
The event culminated with a team from each of the regions cycling into London to meet at Savills’ headquarters in Margaret Street.
