The Smiles & Miles challenge launched on 16th January 2021 saw 91 women and their families sign up and set a personal miles target to work towards over 6 weeks.
The challenge aimed to support and motivate our members to keep cycling during the lockdown and winter weather alongside all the challenges of home schooling and other commitments.
Each week we shared the individual and Cycle Sisters groups leaderboards on our WhatsApp groups and social media as well as a 'photo of the week' celebrating the amazing achievements and progress made during the challenge. There were heart-warming and beautiful stories that emerged of individual personal achievements, sisterhood and team spirit.
