The 'Tour de AV' is back!

The Tour de AV is back! In association with AV Magazine and Pedal Revolution, a team of 21 keen cyclists from the AV industry will complete a gruelling 135-mile (217km) cycle challenge from Midwich Group HQ (Norfolk) to Royal Ascot Racecourse, across two days on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th September - The riders will cross the finish line on day one of Midwich’s showcase event, Tech Xpo 23.

The aim of the event is to raise funds for various chosen ‘Gift of AV’ charities, with each rider pledging to fundraise a minimum of £300. The event is hoping to fundraise more than the £25,000 achieved from last year’s Tour de AV 22 event.
