#TeamUNICEF - Prudential RideLondon 2014

Fruit for the Office are proud to say that we've supplied bananas to keep athletes going at yet another charity event and this time it was Prudential RideLondon!

Held on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th of August 2014, Fruit for the Office were given the incredible opportunity to support UNICEF and all those who exhausted themselves and pushed themselves to the very limit when they cycled 100 miles (cut a few miles short this year though, thanks to some summer showers!) on behalf of #TeamUNICEF.

We donated boxes of our favourite - and tastiest - energy replenishers to UNICEF's cyclists to help them re-energise after a course so long we can only describe it as absolutely bananas.

UNICEF have informed us that our delicious banana donations were well-received by the exhausted and very hungry #TeamUNICEF cyclists, and we're overjoyed to donate to such a worthwhile charity.

If you were cycling at Prudential RideLondon on behalf of UNICEF, check your goody bags and you'll find a 50% off voucher from Fruit For the Office - lucky you! 

Catch the action as it happened on this great Storify that UNICEF put together and, who knows, it may just inspire you to take part next year! (And to come sample some delicious fruit from your favourite office and charity fruit supplier...)

Check out our 2014 @RideLondon storify. Well done #TeamUNICEF - you've done us proud! http://t.co/ldZbmPY0bj

Well done to everyone who took part and if you're amazing enough to be supporting UNICEF at another event this year, you may just be lucky enough to sample our lovely bananas again!

Women V Cancer Ride the Night 2014

Riding your bike around London - trying not to be nudged off the road by overzealous cab drivers and avoiding seemingly kamikaze commuters - can seem a particularly daunting task, especially at night!

But charity event Women V Cancer Ride the Night takes you on a scenic, moonlit journey through the capital's streets on a circular 100km ride passing by London's top tourist attractions whilst every pedal you push helps to raise money to help fight breast, cervical and ovarian cancers.

What a night! Congratulations to everyone who cycled and volunteered at #RidetheNight @BCCare @Action4Charity pic.twitter.com/2MKNzO9EQl

Fruit for the Office sprung into action to help this worthy cause and - because we were all too chicken to ride a bike that isn't stationary and attached to a gym floor! - we donated boxes upon boxes of bananas to the exhausted but severely toned thigh-ed women who pushed their pedal to the gravel.

All at #WomenVCancer are so so proud of our #RidetheNight riders! Well done ladies! Bring on 2015! Registration open!

We hope all the ladies that took part on the 31st May 2014 are fully recovered now and we also hope that cyclists - new and old - will be applying for next year's Women V Cancer Ride the Night at this link!

Be sure to tweet us @office_fruit or leave a comment below if you were at Ride the Night and you may be featured on a future blog or tweet!
