The Big Optometry Blog cycles with CooperVision for Optometry Giving Sight

Last weekend an 11 man optical team pulled on some lycra to cycle 185 miles around London to raise funds for Optometry Giving Sight. So far they have raised over £4,500 but you can help them reach the £5,000 mark by logging on to www.cycleforsight.co.uk

The challenge was to be London Revolution, a two day event encircling the capital by way of iconic sights and exhausting hills. CooperVision formed the core of the cycling team fielding five of the riders and bringing the whole project together under the captaincy of Jason Burkinshaw. The team also rode in CooperVision-liveried kit which drew complimentary comments from other riders and staff along the way for its natty, colourful look. Other than the bibshorts being rather on the brief side for May the kit was to serve us well on a weekend were the rain was mercifully absent during most of the ride.
