Cycle ride aims to inspire environmental pledges

The ride will begin in Manchester on 16 July, with the team – which will see Chris joined by multiple Olympic medallist and UK Sport Chair Dame Katherine Grainger, and a host of other guests – tackling 550 miles en route to Paris, arriving on 23 July.

In the run up to the ride, Sport England are asking sport and physical activity organisations across the country to sign a Going for Green Pledge, committing to new ways to become more sustainable.

Going for Green Pledge
The pledge will encourage clubs and organisations to promote environmental sustainability by:

• reducing energy and water usage
• champion walking, cycling and lift sharing when travelling to activities

drastically reduce reliance on single use plastics.
