In mid 2019 shortly after PC Harper was killed on duty a small group of Met Police officers decided to arrange a London to Paris Charity Cycle Ride for a charity called Care of Police Survivors (COPS). Sadly due to global events this plan was cancelled two years running. Demand to ride outstripped our capabilities for the initial event and with huge support from the business community and desire to partner an idea grew. A cycling club for the Emergency Services, including NHS, Police, Fire, Coastguard, RNLI, Prison Service, Military, Search and Rescue community. As a member you will have access to hundreds of discounts with some of sports biggest brands thanks to our partnership with Endurance Zone Rewards. The club will evolve and allow all to participate. From cycling 500 yards for coffee and cake to riding all day you’ll able to find like minded friends. This decentralised approach will allow you as members to find your best fit within a supportive and safe environment. Plus each year we will arrange two showpiece Charity events. There are huge benefits in regular cycling. It is the third most popular recreational activity in the UK with nearly 4 million people riding a bike each month. It’s an easy way to exercise. You could even use it to get to work. Money saved and exercise combined, what could be better! So whether you are an elite cyclist with a state of the art carbon-frame bike, or have just dusted off one from the garage we encourage you all to take the chance to cycle just once a week. Here at Bluelight Cycling Club we want to be supportive and if you require any advice please contact any of the Bluelight Cycling Club committee. Ambassadors include: Martin Johnson Austin Healey Andy Goode Tom Gaymor Phillipa York For partnership or sponsorship opportunities please reach out to: Sponsorships@bluelightcc.co.uk
