LISTEN: In this episode of the EG Property Podcast, EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by five riders and supporters of the annual Cycle to MIPIM.
The ride, produced by Club Peloton, is back after a pandemic-induced hiatus with a new route but the same important purpose – to raise vital funds for a collection of charities.
With each rider committing to raise £3,000 for Club Peloton, the not-for-profit organisation can support a number of charitable projects for Coram, Cyclists Fighting Cancer, Tom Ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust and Multiple System Atrophy Trust.
Knight Frank, a long-time supporter of the ride, is headline partner this year, with the firm using the charitable endeavour to honour the memory of partner – and legend of the Cycle to MIPIM – Will Monk following his unexpected passing last year.
In this episode, two new recruits to the ride from Knight Frank, Charlotte Swearman and Rachel O’Brien, join previous riders and team sponsors Neo Combarro from Lockton, Gareth Atkinson from Civic Engineers and Mike Axon from Vectos, to share their thoughts on what the ride means to them, the importance of the ride as a more sustainable way to travel to Cannes and what you might have to talk to them about if you get stuck next to them too long in the peloton.
