Congratulations to the cyclists of @knightfrank #CycletoMIPIM 2023 🎉 What a year! In tough conditions, the group has pulled together, pushed together and pedalled together, digging deep going. And they’ve raised £200k for our charity projects. justgiving.com/campaign/Cycl…

In contrast to this, @LFC travelled by train to play Fulham recently. A longer journey (220 miles) than Southampton to Leicester (147 miles).
Day 5 on the ⁦@knightfrank⁩ ⁦@ClubPeloton⁩ #cycletomipim may have started with sunshine and smiles but it ended in torrential rain. Biblical some would say. That’s got to be worth a donation, right? justgiving.com/campaign/Cycl…
LISTEN: Love cycling? Care about human beings? Wanna help make a difference? Then this is the podcast for you. Always a joy to talk #cycletomipim with @ClubPeloton @knightfrank @LocktonUK @civicengineers @VectosTP egi.co.uk/news/riding-high-t…
