On the 1st September 2013, Team Grimme embarked on their first ever Charity Cycle Ride, cycling over 100 miles from their premises at Dunnington, York to their Headquarters in Swineshead, Boston. The whole team completed their task in less than 7 hours, the ride managing to raise in excess of £5,000 for local charities. 

This year on the 7th May, a new look Team Grimme 2015 ride again, as fifteen part time cyclists embark on a challenge generally reserved for professionals! Aiming to cycle approximately 275 miles in just two and a half days, the team are attempting to ride from their premises at Dunnington, York to Grimme’s factory in Damme, Germany.
