There’s also a new eco-initiative in the mix, aimed at planting thousands of trees. The initiative’s goal is to plant 2,500 trees by the end of the Build-Up rides using the collective effort of all the participants and their physical activities.

The Spinneys Cycling Team is extending an invitation to all the registered participants to join them and contribute to the endeavour. All you have to do is download the Active Giving app and use the provided special code.
