The annual PedElle event, a charity cycle for women across the built environment organised by Club Peloton, came home this year.
The ride, which raises money for Coram and brings women in real estate together, took place in the Cumbrian hills. Some 35 women cycled more than 400km and climbed close to 7,000m (Everest, for comparison, is around 8,800m).
On day one, the cyclists were treated to The Struggle, an infamous climb in the Lake District that offers lung and thigh-busting gradients. However, it was the climb that reminded everyone on the ride exactly why they were there – to help the thousands of children who are struggling through life to find forever families and safe places to grow up.
