It is a great opportunity to raise funds for a fantastic cause and we look forward to pedalling alongside Sir Chris Hoy and many others on September the 5th<\/sup>.\u201d<\/p>\n Setting off from the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, the team will be pedalling 60 miles across Scotland’s central belt and crossing the finish line in Edinburgh – just along from Social Bite’s flagship Village in Granton.<\/p>\n All of the funds raised will help in expanding the Social Bite Village initiative in the two new cities as well as on projects that help \u201cBreak the Cycle\u201d of homelessness.<\/p>\n The Social Bite Village is an innovative, supportive community for up to 20 people affected by homelessness at any one time. The purpose of the project is to bring vacant land back into use and to build a village with beautiful, prefabricated housing and a community hub.<\/p>\n As well as taking part in the cycle, DB Group plan to have an online auction for staff to help raise more funds.<\/p>\n
