Jackie Jarvis business mentor based in Oxford joins the B4 team to cycle this challenging distance

On Thursday 23rd May,  I and 17 B4 members will nervously mount our bikes to pedal the 428 miles from Edinburgh to Oxford. We hope to arrive 4 days later, as fully-fledged cyclists, complete with blisters, bumps and bruises, having raised as much as we can for our chosen charities.

For most of us, this will be the furthest we have ever cycled… in our entire lives.

We will be stopping overnight in:

Thu 23rd - Jedburgh

Fri 24th - Newcastle, Village Hotel

Sat 25th - Leeds, Village Hotel (Leeds South)

Sun 26th - Nottingham, Village Hotel

Mon 27th - Blenheim Palace, Oxford – a grand finish, with friends, family and welcoming drinks.

We are hoping to arrive at Blenheim Palace at around 5pm
