About Simon Wilkes

This year Legal and General are supporting The Northern Power Ride an inaugural ride in Northern England. The two day, 330km (200 mile) ride focuses on promoting diversity and inclusion… because we believe amazing things happen when you bring together a mix of people, different ideas and new ways of thinking! Legal & Generals backing of this event reflects our commitment to various projects across the North of England from Newcastle to Manchester taking in many of the towns and cities in between on the route. Over two days, riders will travel from Newcastle through County Durham to the Yorkshire Dales and on to Manchester. The ride gives participants the chance to push yourself, meet people and share new ideas. Most of you will know that I am a keen cyclist although not as extreme as some of the rides I have done 200 miles in two days is still a challenge on UK roads! The ride is raising money for the children’s charity CORAM who help support the adoption of some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-place children in the country.
