Articles - Olympic cycle ride for actuaries!

 As part of its charitable fund raising activities, the Worshipful Company of Actuaries (WCA) is organising a cycle ride with a difference on Sunday 19 May.

 
 The ride will begin at Staple Inn and take in some of the sites made famous during the London Olympics last year before returning to Staple Inn for well-earned refreshments.

 
 All actuaries are warmly invited to take part, but it is not necessary to be an actuary or even to have a bike. Bring your friends, colleagues and relatives. And bikes can be provided by the London Bicycle Tour Company, which is supplying official tour guides for the event.

 
 The 27-mile route will head south across the river and pass through Greenwich Park, London’s oldest Royal Park and scene of Olympic Equestrian success, then along to Woolwich. Going back under the river, the final stretch will take a wide circle to Staple Inn via the Olympic Park at Stratford.

 
 All monies raised will go to the Company of Actuaries Charitable Trust, which offers grants to a range of charities supporting the young, disabled and needy, and supports research on the education of mathematics.
