Think outside the Box for charity bike ride
Summer is coming and it will soon be time to get the legs out and start building up your cyclist’s tan. To help you achieve those sharp lines – and to raise thousands of pounds for the NSPCC – CBRE is hosting an inaugural UK property bike ride. Held on 10 July, the event, supported by Estates Gazette, will start at Denbies Wine Estate, near Box Hill in Surrey. All proceeds will go to the NSPCC, with CBRE picking up the bill for the hosting of the event. The agent is keen for the ride to be a fun family day out for everyone involved in the property industry and of all levels of fitness. CBRE managing director Ciaran Bird said: “The beauty of this event is that it’s open to absolutely anyone. If you can ride a bike, you are ready to go.” Register for your place at http://bit.ly/1r2ugVy
