Interdirect’s Pedal Power Pays Off

Nicola Mason and Martin Back on their bikes

Interdirect has done it again! The full service agency from Milton Keynes has raised more than £500 for local charity, Willen Hospice. Nicola Mason and Martin Back from Interdirect took part in a charity cycle challenge from London to Brighton last weekend and raised £505, smashing their initial target of £300.

Despite high winds and even higher hills, the team pedalled on to complete the 54 mile journey in just four and a half hours.  A huge thank you to the team, clients, friends and family for all the money that was raised for a charity close to the heart of Interdirect.

The money will go towards the care and support that Willen Hospice provides to families in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area.

It’s not too late to donate, visit www.justgiving.com/Interdirect-London-to-Brighton to pledge your support.

Ain't no mountain high enough?

 Biker Jumping at Woburn Woods

For the bikers of Woburn Sands, Milton Keynes and the surrounding area there is one figurative mountain that is too high to scale. Funding for a new 20 year lease of the land that their downhill trails and dirt-jump tracks lie upon is proving difficult to find. The trails are due to be flattened soon unless money can raised to extend the life of this hidden gem.

Some of the best riders in the world have graced the trails and jumps with their skills — but... the warm esteem that it is held in by bikers from around the UK seems to have been lost on the authority is in control of the lease. I’m sure I’m not the only person to have spotted some sort of social myopia in this decision, whatever authority that controls or owns the land seems to be completely blinkered to the positive effects that these sort of community projects create. And yes, it is a community project. They are a cohesive social group that share the responsibility for the upkeep of the area, they do all the repairs themselves, keep it tidy and are always welcoming to people who wish to join in, as long as they share this responsibility.

Sounds like the very model of a community to me.

On a very cynical note I suspect that the kids (I use this term loosely) are probably having far too much fun for the grownups (used even more loosely) to tolerate. l really-really hope that someone has the good sense to give the Woburn bikers a reprieve, a wealthy benefactor/sponsor can step in, or they can raise the money through donations.
