Thames River Relay

We recently provided the Thames River Relay team with a selection of bicycles and a bicycle trailer to help accomplish their challenge.

The team visited us back in August to arrange bicycle hire and the logistics for the Source to Sea River Relay event that is taking place throughout September. The event’s journey begins by filling a bottle with fresh Thames water at the source located near Gloucestershire before continuing a relay race down the river towards London. The relay aims to raise awareness of the epidemic of plastic waste and the significant impact that this is having on our waterways and of course, our oceans.

The team let us know that they were going to kick start the event on 1St September at Thameshead with a glorious cycle along the Thames Path on the bikes we provided to Lechlade where they passed on their baton to the ATB Group.
