Robert Taylor, who is registered blind, is taking part in the 2026 Norfolk Churches Trust Bike Ride, Walk & Drive, he is aiming to visit 25 churches over 62 miles on the day, Saturday 12th September.
You can read more about Robert and his challenge here.
Robert will be on the back of a tandem as a stoker with his pilot Michael up front.
Michael has now calculated their route, and the 25 churches they intend to visit are listed below and he has estimated that they will need between seven and eight hours to complete their task. That doesn’t actually allow for anything going wrong, punctures, slipped chain or stoker falling asleep!
So if you are nearby on the day, do give them some moral support. Robert is raising money for the Norfolk Churches Trust and Vision Norfolk, who have enabled him to attempt this challenge. You can sponsor him here, Robert’s Blind Bike Ride.
