50 Miles
5 St Chad's Churches
Our vicar Jonathan and his wife Sian are going to be taking on a cycling challenge, by cycling 50 mile route from St Chads Sutton Coldfield, taking visting four other St Chads Churches- Erdington, Wishaw, Hopwas and Lichfield- as well as reaching the National Arboretum Memorial in Staffordshire. You can support them by text, on-line donations or through by leaving your sponsorship donation at the vicarage
The challenge is planned for the beginning of April, with the exact day being weather dependent
It was towards the start of lockdown last year we started to go cycling again, as it was a good form of exercise and good for the mental health to be able to get out and about into some countryside. Over the months that have past we have enjoyed getting to see more of the local area, and as we have done so, we have found some regular routes that we enjoy and have gradually increased the mileage that we do, meaning that 15-20 miles is a good cycle ride.
This means that our 50 mile route taking in 5 St Chads Churches will be around double what we will have done previously as our longest ride! We are looking forward to the challenge which will take us past some familiar places as well as some new places on route.
Jonathan and Sian Nicholas
