Colleagues from every one of its homes are cycling different legs, some of which are up to 90 miles long.

Travelling with them will be Buddy Bear, who will be handed over at the end of every leg to the next intrepid team – he will be the only one making the whole trip.

The long ride started on October 2, and the aim is to finish on November 16.
