A team member from Douglas Stafford joined hundreds of other cyclists to take part in the Wiggle Circuit Breaker Sportive event at the weekend.

Julie Worthington – HR Manager at the Portsmouth based mystery shopping company – completed a challenging 84-mile cycle around Northamptonshire and surrounding areas.

The Wiggle Circuit Breaker Sportive started from the iconic Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit, before heading north in an anti-clockwise direction sweeping through villages lined with limestone houses and elegant churches.

Other highlights of the route included several National Trust sites and points of interest. At the 60 mile point, the Epic Route riders climbed the leg sapping, but short, Burton Hill to the stunning Burton County Park. A gradual descent allowed riders’ legs to recover for the final push South East towards the finish back at Silverstone where participants received a well-deserved medal!

Julie, who has been working at Douglas Stafford for 23 years, is a keen cyclist and takes part in many cycling and triathlon events throughout the country.

Julie took the ‘Epic’ route and completed it in an impressive time of 6 hours and 28 minutes.
