WHEELIE BIG RIDE
Some may think they’re crazy, some may think they’re fitness fanatics – who are we to judge?
Some of the DDK team are about to embark on a challenge not for the faint hearted!
Across 10 epic days, Kevin, Stuart and Kenny will be covering 1000 miles of the most beautiful and scenic landscapes accessible on two wheels. There is no better way to travel from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
Oh and we can’t forget our valued team member Dave who will be supporting our bike enthusiasts and driving four wheels!
Pedal Power

Oooft! This will be 1000 miles the team will never forget.
There is no better way to experience the breathtaking scenery, iconic landmarks and historic sites of Britain than by bike or at least that’s what the team thought before embarking on this epic journey!

CHARITIES
Why We’re Doing This
Some people may think the trio are bonkers…cycling 1000 miles but the guys aren’t just doing it to keep super fit, there are a number of charities that have inspired them over the years and they are looking to support them whilst pedalling like they’ve never pedalled before!
Of course, as a positioning company it would be daft not to track all that juicy positioning data along our journey! So we’ll be taking our trusty X1 along with us, not only to test our positioning solution over the entire length of Great Britain, but also to keep an eye on the communication signals available to us on our adventure. Keep tabs on our progress during the challenge via the Live Tracker below!
