Character team to take on mammoth cycling challenges for The Toy Trust
The Character Team are on their bikes again in support of the Toy Trust.
Their challenge this year is a 50 mile cycle up, over and through the Chiltern Hills near Marlow.
The team is led by Jon Diver, fuelled by Jerry Healy, navigated by Jon Elliott, entertained by Kevin Belcher and Carl Jones, powered by David Ragg, delayed by punctures by Marc Pollard and joined by Jeff Taylor and Matt Smith (Azure Media), Hannah Mungo (Universal) and Stefanie Moore (Moose).
And if 50 miles round the Chilterns wasn’t enough, the team is also doing 50kms round London, through the night, on the same day!
