Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit ourJustGiving page.

We are a group of 8 weekend cyclists (supported by several other colleagues in vans), all working for Intelligent Growth Solutions, an award-winning, world-leading Agritech company based in Scotland.

A few months ago, following Mark Beaumont's mind-blowing record ride around the North Coast 500, two of us sat down and came up with a dream of riding most of the route (the east coast part is not so scenic for cyclists) over 5 days.

The objective is to raise funds for a noble cause increasingly impacting our loved ones, as well as act as a team-building exercise for our nascent team.

Our group brings together engineering, finance, sales, data science, product, executive management, PR and business development.

We will ride from Beauly to Applecross, Ullapool, Kinlochbervie, Altnaharra and back to Beauly over 5 days, covering 680km and more than 9100m of ascent, sleeping in a mix of hostels, B&Bs and hotels. This is all self-financed to ensure that 100% of your donations go to our chosen charity, Alzheimer Scotland.

You will be able to follow our progress on the IGS LinkedIn page.

So please support us in this endeavor!
