Cyclist's 24-hour challenge to help foodbank

Well-known Island cyclist, Gianni Epifani, is set to take on a grueling challenge from tomorrow to support the Islands foodbank.

He's planning to ride his indoor training bike for 24 hours straight on Saturday to raise awareness and hopefully donations for the organisation which he says has seen a 40 per cent rise in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gianni adds his efforts will be recorded on Zwift so other riders can join in if they want to and he's hoping to give live Facebook updates on his progress every four hours.

The challenge will get underway at 10.30am on the day and members of the public are being invited to see how he gets on.
