Axxess Marine Charity Ride
The Axxess Marine Charity Ride was launched in 2017 prior to the Monaco Yacht Show, with the aim of connecting like-minded people across our industry, and the focus on giving something back. The event is now firmly established on the yachting calendar and draws in a wide variety of keen cyclists, all with different levels of fitness and ability, but the same aim of raising funds and having fun. The Axxess Marine peloton was back on the road again in Antigua at the ACYM in December for the Charity Ride. The ride saw our group of riders make a challenging trip, in 30 degree heat, from the Axxess Marine office at the yacht club marina, Falmouth Harbour to Half Moon Bay and back to Covent Garden for food and refreshments. The peloton, sponsored by #Viasat, included several captains along with riders from #AxxessMarine, #yachtspot and #roadrunners. Funds raised will help #yachtcrewhealth and their efforts supporting crew health and wellbeing. Watch this space for more exciting news about the next charity ride events and venues in 2022/23!
