Participants will log their cycling online鈥� with spot prizes for individuals and team prizes for the teams that get the most staff cycling.

The Southampton Cycle Challenge is delivered by CTC Challenge for Change, in partnership with Southampton City Council, NHS Solent Healthcare and Sustrans. We want existing cyclists to encourage their non cycling colleagues to get on a bike 鈥� and there are free cinema tickets up for grabs for both if they manage to do so!
