Tour De Godwin

A new venture for the school in 2019, the Tour de Godwin was the brainchild of a pair of cycling-mad Hall dads, whilst in conversation with Mr Godwin in the Spring of 2019… Now, having pushed the boundaries once, The Hall cyclists have committed to repeating the experience every summer. 

Instead of driving to Blenheim Palace to support the Hall Triathletes, Mr Godwin and his band of merry cyclists – parents and staff – will once again ride from The Hall to Blenheim, a distance of around 70m/110km, in an effort to raise funds for the selected charity of the year.

In the inaugural venture, three groups of varying speeds set off from the school early in the morning at around 6 am; Fast, Medium and Leisurely. The majority of the Tour group riders arrived at The Hall’s tent before the first wave of triathletes set off around midday, ready to cheer on and support their other halves and friends facing the triathlon challenges.

In 2020 the ride is again going to be mapped, guided and supported. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. The route to Woodstock is very picturesque in places and a time to stop for a rest is scheduled en route for refreshment and to admire the scenery.
