Cycling Freemason Rob gears up for 900-mile challenge

Boston-based Freemason Rob Wright is only days away from the start of a cycling challenge that’ll see him riding from John O’Groats to Land’s End.

Rob, a member of Franklin Lodge, will be leading a team of seven, including fellow Freemason Jez Hyland. Rob, left, and Jez are pictured on their last 70-mile training ride in the Wolds.

Rob’s ride starts on September 7th, and we’ll be posting a progress report in these pages. The team is raising money for Brake, a national road safety charity that cares for road victims and campaigns for safer roads for all.

Brake’s National Road Victim Service is a specialist support service to help families cope with the shock, turmoil and devastation that road crashes cause families across the UK every day.

Rob says: “We picked Brake because it was instrumental in giving help and support to my close friends Tristan and Helen who lost their 18-year-old daughter Charlotte in a road accident two weeks before last Christmas.”
